Cutter Gloves: Straight out of Ottawa


Cutters Gloves was founded in 1997 by Canadian Jeff Beraznik, and has been the market leader in high-performance sports gloves ever since. The concept for the business stemmed from a finger injury sustained by Beraznik while playing for the University of Ottawa GeeGees.

He wore an industrial glove used by glass cutters to maximize his grip and protect his injured finger. Although these gloves were bulky and unsightly, their strong gripping material caused them to change from team joke to team wonder. Seeing the impact this had on the game, Cutters Gloves was established with the commitment of developing the technology to produce the world’s most innovative and highest performance sports gloves.

Through Cutters’ exclusive proprietary process, C-TACK[SUP]TM[/SUP] Performance Grip Material has changed the way high performance gloves are produced. While other companies have attempted to copy Cutters’ technology, C-TACK is the only one that integrates the grip into the material. The result is a virtually permanent grip that continually self-restores and performs in all weather conditions. When C-TACK gets dirty, all you have to do is wipe it with a damp towel or throw it in the washing machine, and – amazingly – the grip is completely restored.

Cutters is a privately owned company, and in a fast-paced 14 years has developed a strong following amongst elite athletes worldwide. Cutters Gloves are famous in football, used by top professionals like Dez Bryant, Mark Ingram and Frank Gore, and by top college and high-school programs. As Anquan Boldin of the Baltimore Ravens says, “The grip is ridiculous. Everybody knows they’re the best.” Gaining momentum in baseball, Cutters Batting Gloves have become the choice glove for a long list of up-and-coming prospects, as well as pros such as Brandon Allen and Orlando Cabrera. Cutters’ business is based on their passion for technology and innovation, as well as their commitment to anticipating athletes’ needs and amazing their customers.
