Does this mean I need to trade in the Whites for the shoes with the little spikes
You won't get as much firewood if you do.

I'll do that, thanks...
If you or anyone runs into a link, please post up..Like I said I wouldn't mind paying some extra bucks..
I have a pair of these- they wear like iron but are soft as a baby's butt. They also have them in lined and padded.
JRC Glove: 439EB Elkskin Unlined
Don't have some of the features you specified- but you can call them and see if there is a model that is what you want.
Oh yeah, since we're supposed to be making recommendations.....
I've started using these:
Wells Lamont Retail Group :: Work Gloves :: Leather :: Ultra Comfort Leather :: Grain Deerskin
I like them a lot, but they only last one season. Maybe the pigskins are better?
If it's a cold/wet morning, I still like these best (see Therma Fit):
ATLAS Glove Consumer Products Palm Dipped
They last multiple seasons, but I don't like to sweat like a pig in them. One recommendation, don't dry them. Washing is OK, but drying them affects the rubberized palm.

agomez, thought you might be on to something here, but your idea sucks (no offense). The bar doesn't even fit into one of the slots.
Might try some of those, homemade velcro strap to keeps the chips out..
I bought a pare of these last time I was in Wisdom, Mt. blown away how well the fingers lasted vs cowhide..
Thanks for the ideas everyone..

Here are my draw knives.
The black one is flat and used looking one is curved or bent. The curved or bent one is for doing flat surfaces.

"Mechanics" gloves others have posted up.
Synthetic Leather
Breathes
They outlast deer skin and are compairable to calf skin. In reality, Goat skin will outlast them, boar skin wil outlast them 2 - 1 but takes awhile to break in.
These are about 6 weeks old.

Boar Hide with a draw strap on the wrist.
They feel bulky since the leather is thicker and tougher.
Found these at a fire place store.

Carhart brands the exact same glove.
This is jsut this season of wood cutting, (about 3 cord) plus a bunch or wire fencing and a few leaf spring swaps.
