The Knipex 190 mm Cable Knife (98 53 13) is designed for professional electricians and tradespeople who require a precision tool for reliable cable stripping. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-quality, durable blade with an ergonomic, VDE-tested handle that ensures safety during live electrical work. While the fixed-blade design offers excellent stability and control, users should note that it requires manual sharpening maintenance to preserve its cutting efficiency over long-term use.

No, this tool is specifically designed for stripping insulation and should not be used on metal or wire as it will ruin the blade edge.
The total length of the tool is 190 mm.
Because it has a fixed blade, it should be stored in a protective sheath or a dedicated tool compartment to prevent accidents.
The blade is a fixed, integrated part of the tool and is not designed to be replaced independently.
The blade has likely dulled; perform a light touch-up using a sharpening stone.
Clean the multi-component handle with a damp cloth and mild soap; ensure it is completely dry before using it on electrical work.
This knife does not require any initial setup; it is ready for use immediately upon removal from packaging. To ensure the longevity of the tool, avoid using the blade on hardened materials like steel or masonry, as this will dull the edge prematurely. Compatibility is broad, covering most common round and flat electrical cables. After use in dusty or debris-heavy environments, wipe the blade clean with a dry cloth to prevent oxidation. When the edge begins to feel dull, use a high-quality sharpening stone to restore the blade's profile, ensuring you maintain the original factory angle.
