Sharp and Easy to Use
This wire stripping knife is well made, sharp, and comfortable to hold. It removes cable insulation cleanly and makes the job much easier. The blade is durable, and the handle provides a secure grip for better control. It works great for electrical projects and offers excellent value for the price. I would definitely recommend it.

Just buy it.
Favorite knife I have ever owned. I have two of them and they can tackle any task. I dont think ill ever buy a different pocket knife. I work with pools and find my self using this for quick wire stripping frequently. Definitely need to pickup some new blades soon, they last for months typically and dont even rust when exposed to chlorinated water.

I LIKE IT !!
So far, I love this knife. The side clip has just the right tension & end curve to easily slip on my jeans pocket but stays put once it's on. I'm using it as a box cutter & it's way better than my Milwaukee utility knife. That hooked end makes a big difference. Heavy corrugated boxes usually required 2 passes to cut through with the Milwaukee. But this knife easily cuts through in one pass with a lot less effort. Can't tell yet how long it stays sharp, only had it a few weeks. I bought extra blades, but I'll try sharpening 1st when it gets dull. Opening & closing is a little stiff, but I can do it with one hand. {89 yr., disabled). Very happy with this cutter.

Good knife with minor issues.
This is a very good knife for 2/0 3/0 4/0 wire, etc... It's super sharp and skins wire like a dream. The two issues I have is that the screw that holds the blade in place has to be frequently tightened and the blade does does dull fairly quickly, but the blades are fairly inexpensive and very easy to change. All in all I really like this knife and it's my go to for skinning larger diameter wires.

Another KLEIN tool that you will keep...
The design is the same as if it were a folding linoleum / carpet knife for floorcoverings installers. Very sharp and yet the blade is knife-strong, not like a razor bade box cutter type thin blade. The overall build is strong also, no blade wobble, and plastic hand grips have a good feel. I'm not a knife nerd, so I have not mastered the "one-hand open and close", but my friend can do it, although he says the newness means it is very dangerous, still being so tight to move. I used to work in electrical wholesale, and I definitely would stock these in my store. Not sure what country this is from, but don't let that stop you. Whichever factory is turning these out is doing a reputable job of it.

bought it for cutting sod
UPDATE: Well, this knife was great for cutting sod. However, it dulled almost immediately. I was hoping to get at least 3 or 4 uses out of it, but one use of several cuts was all the blade could take. I know that cutting sod is not what the knife is designed for, so you can take that comment or leave it. I will have to find another tool for cutting sod. Original review: I wonder if South Florida is the only place where you use sod instead of grass seed? When installing a square of sod (grass growing out of a chunk of dirt), you may have to fit it around a curved area, or fit it into a spot of bare ground. I bought this curved "hawk bill" knife to cut either the grass that is already growing, so I can put in a full square of sod; or to cut the piece of sod to fit my space. I'm not doing a complete lawn; I'm just patching the brown or bare spots. I am using the knife to cut straight down through the grass and the roots, and then use a spade or shovel to remove what is not wanted. So far, this knife has done the job. It is strong enough and sharp enough. It opened and closed a little stiffly the first couple of times, but then it seemed to get better. I always wear thick leather gloves when doing yard work, so I close this knife with gloves on. You have to endanger yourself to close it--you have to squeeze the bottom of the knife handle to release the lock on the blade. But the blade doesn't snap back, and you can hold the blade with your other hand to guide it when closing the knife. Using a handheld knife instead of a power tool gives me more control of what I'm doing. I just have to remember to keep my feet out of the direction of my cuts. I looked at a LOT of knives and read all the reviews. This seemed to be the best answer to my needs.
