The Klein Tools Cable Skinning Utility Knife features a 2.5" hawkbill blade specifically profiled for cable skinning tasks, eliminating the need to use and dull a personal pocket knife on abrasive cable jackets during high-volume wiring, service entrance work, and feeder cable prep. When the blade dulls, the captive-screw replaceable blade system lets you swap to a fresh 440A stainless steel blade in seconds — no sharpening, no downtime. The rubberised grip handle with lockback mechanism and thumb-stud opening delivers confident one-hand deployment and secure, comfortable control throughout extended cable prep sessions.
