There are also Kevlar gloves used by woodcarvers for the same purpose, from e.g. Woodcraft.

Yesterday I was trimming leather off an older set of Renner backchecks and in a quick instant the hardwood split and I got a semi serious laceration requiring half a dozen stitches on middle finger.  With break starting hardly anyone was around so drove home one handed. Fortunately my wife is a nurse so she took it from there. Also fortunate that I'm done with tuning now for over a week, as far as I know.
