I have mesh glove for cutting up meat etc at home...you were plurry lucky...hope there is a PLB in your kit,you were close to needing it.

I started taking a mesh glove with me on the hill a few years ago. A bad knife cut is probably second only to a really bad fall. The mesh glove speeds up the field dressing time too. Had dead a fallow spiker bring a back leg up and kick just as I pushed the knife in behind the jaw hinge - caught the knife and snapped the blade off and kicked my arm. I was behind the backbone but if I was in front and the blade didn't snap it could have ended badly.
