The db knurls were so deep and abrasive, I could not do a single push because I'd have to have one big ass callus on my whole palm not to feel it.

Hats off to you folks who do not use gloves.
Zam....try hand covers instead of gloves. Gymnast use them. Also a lot of CrossFit ppl use them. I have a few pairs for doing anything high rep on pull up bar. But they will work for regular lifts also. They will let you hands breath more and are thinner then gloves.
