They work great, protecting the base of the fingers with a solid lame, but alowing you complete movement of your finger tips.

Check the pattern library for Thor's finger gauntlets. I have seen a pair of these in use in a tourney. Very nice. Very easy-looking pattern, too. I have used the back half for demi-gauntlets a few times. Never did make the whole thing up into a set of finger gauntlets, though.
If you take a look at Thor's page, he has a couple of earlier sets of gauntlets shown there. Good for getting an idea of what you can make.
