I feel like the KGB is short-lived.
I tested them against a nest of red bees and was forced to create spare gloves near the end of the fight.
And yes, it is true that they require simple resources to craft, but it is annoying to have to do them every time.
My idea is that the gloves lasts a little longer than the spear, but require more valuable resources such as 2 pigskin, 2 cobweb and 2 rope.

Alternatively, you could craft the "Gloves of Running Urgently" and that allow you to run a little faster but have a short duration like the current gloves and of course, they cannot cause as much damage.
Maybe the crafting recipe could be the KGB with 2 rabbits
