Abstract
Abstract A knife having a cutting edge and a terminal sharp stripping point, there being a handle on the blade, and a cable guide mounted on the blade in fixed position thereon, although it may be adjustable. The guide comprises a pair of oppositely extending curved members which embrace and guide the cable, the stripping point extending very slightly into the guideway but sufficiently so that it can strip cable pulled through the guideway.
