Cable knife with straight fixed blade, 50 mm blade length, VDE insulated, 190 mm - Knipex 98 52

When stripping round cable the lengthways cut has to be accurate without nicking the core insulation underneath. The 98 52 cable knife carries a solid fixed blade with a straight cutting edge and 50 mm blade length that is drawn through the sheath under control thanks to the thumb recess and the finger hook at the end of the handle.
