Such knives are designed to facilitate the process of performing electrical work related to stripping cables and wires. The cutting part of these tools is made of chrome-vanadium steel - it has anti-corrosion properties, is characterized by increased wear resistance, strength and hardness. Declared by the seller, the hardness of steel is 52 HRC. The case of knives is made of plastic. For ease of use, a fine-grained anti-slip coating is applied to their handle and an emphasis is placed under the finger. In addition, a hole for mounting is provided in the handle.
The seller has two types of knives: with a straight blade (knife length - 190 mm, blade length - 50 mm) and with a sickle-shaped blade and a heel (knife length - 185 mm, blade length - 40 mm). When ordering, you can choose a knife of a certain type, or a set of two pieces at once (somewhat cheaper). The knives are quite light - their weight is about 90 grams. The seller claims that these tools are VDE and GS certified (this information is duplicated on the handle of the knives), which means that they can be safely used under alternating current up to 1000 V. A protective cap is included with the knife, on which a knife type image is applied. Note that the main features of the sickle knife are the ease of opening the insulation (due to double-sided sharpening) without any risk of damage to the core, because the heel soldered to the end of its blade prevents further penetration of the cutting part.
It should be noted that the quality of sharpening of knife blades varies from batch to batch, and therefore it may well be necessary to correct the cutting edge. In addition, for a knife with a “heel”, the “heel” itself may have reflux defects, so for the best result it may also have to be trimmed.
