A VDE insulated cable knife used for slitting outer cable sheathing cleanly and with more control. The hooked double edged blade is made for careful sheath cutting, helping when you need to open cable without catching or damaging the conductors underneath.

Used mainly by electricians, this type of knife suits electrical installation, maintenance work, servicing and general cable preparation on site or in the workshop. The hook blade shape is especially useful when opening outer sheaths on fixed wiring and other cables where a controlled cut matters more than rough trimming. Being able to cut on both the push and pull stroke can also help in tighter positions where access is awkward and frequent repositioning slows the job down.

Built as a straightforward job-focused sheath slitter, it is VDE approved and individually tested to 1000V to BS EN IEC60900. The double edged blade gives you two cutting directions, while the hooked profile helps guide the cut along the sheath rather than digging in too deeply. That makes it a practical option for regular electrical work where insulated hand tools are required. Please note this is an age restricted item, so buyers must be over 18 and may be subject to age verification checks.
