I like Kevlar gloves, which are similar, but provide good cut

But I found them superb when doing a mix of jobs including trimming
and replacing a few slabs, replacing bits of facia board, re-hanging
an exterior door, cutting gutters and downpipes, drilling and
screwing brackets into wood and stone, mixing small amounts of mortar
and concrete, and painting. And the grip is good enough to leave me
confident climbing up and down ladders and a scaffold tower.

I'm a great fan of the 3 finger framers gloves;

Good protection against scrapes & abrasions, good grip & you can still pick
up screws & nails. Great for general use. Don't use them for wet/tough
applications though.
