Cable knife NWS NW963-1-85 with wooden handle — model NW963-1-85

The Cable knife NWS NW963-1-85 with wooden handle is a compact hand tool designed for cutting and stripping cable insulation. Intended for electricians and technicians, this manual cutting knife enables controlled longitudinal and circumferential cuts on cable jackets. The tool features a replaceable blade system and a wooden grip that provides a stable contact surface for precise handling during installation and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The wooden handle offers a firm, tactile grip that reduces hand fatigue during repeated operations. The replaceable blade design allows quick and economical blade changes without replacing the entire tool. Its compact form makes the knife easy to position on small-diameter cables and in confined spaces, while the simple mechanical construction ensures reliable performance and low maintenance.

Suitable for

• Cutting and stripping insulation from electrical cables
• Performing longitudinal and circumferential jacket cuts
• On-site cable preparation during installations and repairs
• Work in confined spaces or on small-diameter cable runs

Key specifications

• Tool type: manual cable knife for insulation cutting and stripping
• Handle material: wood for comfortable, non-slip grip
• Blade: replaceable cutting blade for economical maintenance
• Design: compact form factor suitable for precision work
• Primary use: electrical cable jacket cutting—longitudinal and circumferential

How to use

Hold the wooden handle securely and position the blade against the cable jacket at the intended cutting line. For longitudinal cuts, apply steady forward pressure while guiding the blade along the cable; for circumferential cuts, rotate the knife or the cable to score around the jacket. Replace the blade when cutting performance diminishes, following the manufacturer’s instructions for safe blade removal and installation. Maintain a steady hand and moderate pressure to avoid nicking inner conductors.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and verify the cable is de-energized before cutting. Store the knife with the blade retracted or covered, and keep spare blades in a dry location to prevent corrosion.
