When it may not be suitable

This knife is not intended for heavy-duty mechanical cutting, such as sawing through thick metal conduits or hard plastic pipes. It should not be used as a substitute for a screwdriver or a pry bar, as applying excessive lateral force may damage the blade or the handle.

How to use

To use the Ergom AM21, hold the handle firmly to ensure a stable grip. Position the blade at the desired point on the cable insulation.
