finger guard

Knife safety accessory

A finger guard is a protective cover or shield worn over a finger or designed into a tool to prevent injury.

Kitchen finger guards protect against knife cuts while chopping.

Archery and guitar finger guards prevent friction damage.

Power tools and machinery often include built-in finger guards to keep digits away from blades or moving parts.
