Depends on defination of "Holding Nothing". If guantet costs as holding something than no you can't.

If yes, guantlets aren't held, than you may use Deflect arrow with it.

Personally, I'd say yes for normal guantlets, but I don't know for Bladed.

Regular Gauntlet count as not holding anything, but bladed gauntlet is basically a dagger welded to the gauntlet.

It does not matter if something is held in your hand or welded to it, it is still considered holding something.

Second of all basically your hand is free, the blades are above your hand, you could hold something else. If you rule that bladed gauntlet=holding something then would you be able to use DA with natural attacks(like claw or pincer)?
