Try using cut proof gloves in concert with your mandoline’s finger guard. My dad swears by it.

Do you have any recommendations for a glove?

I tried that once with a "cut resistant" glove and it worked, but also sliced a small hole on the thumb that would only get worse if I continue going that route.

I wanted a chain maille glove with super tiny rings and no lead (e.g. in solder to close the rings) but then I got the cut resistant one instead.

As for a finger guard, I don't think my current mandoline has that feature. 🫣

A mandoline finger guard is usually some kind of broad handle that had small spines on the other side to hold the food. Your fingers now hold plastic instead of the food directly and can’t get cut.

I’ll get back to you with my dad’s glove recommendation, but it is a kind of fabric, not chain mail.

Dad likes these cut-proof gloves and recommends you use the size chart:
