Opening cans of pet food.
Cutting an onion (or an avocado).
Using a grater.
Sooner or later, you're going to get a ding and if you have a little arthritis in your hands, maybe a bad cut.
No-cut gloves can solve most of the kitchen or thorny garden problems you might encounter.
Slice resistance
A number of cut-resistant gloves on the market resist slicing even from very sharp knives, such as hunting knives.
Among the top brands: No Cry, Stark Safe, Epica, and Wislife, according to glovesmag.com.
These brands make gloves that offer superb protection for kitchen, gardening, fish cleaning, or working with saws or glass.
However, these gloves probably aren't suitable for industrial applications. They are not resistant to punctures.
Heat resistance
If you put logs in a fireplace, or love to grill, heat resistance can be essential. One brand in this area is Bluefire. Their gloves are heat and cut resistant. However, they come in only one size, which might be clumsy for smaller hands.
Slip resistance
Most gloves offer some slip resistance, but G&F gloves have a silicone coating on the palm that improves grip. They are also cut and heat resistant.
