Hultafors Electrician's Knife ELK 18

I had the older version that didn't have the cable stripping notch at the top, went missing at work as tolls usually do. This new version is excellent.

Came quickly , yet to use

Fantastic value, be careful it’s sharp

As a leftie, I was happy to see a left-handed option for an asymetric tool. As an electrician's knife it's fine so far, but the big disappointment was the sheath, which is right-handed. I guess the sheaths are a bulk item, made the same for different types of knife, and it's not worth their while to vary the design just for one variant of one knife. You can work around it, if you have a tool pouch with blade-proof pockets, but it makes sheath useless in practice.

Excellent quality, cheap as chips. As a handyman, I keep this in my toolbag, and it gets used surprisingly often, not just for electrical cable stripping. If I lost it I would buy another one in a heartbeat!

I have very large hands ( I would, I'm 6'4" with a 48" chest) and whilst an EDC doesn't need to be big for me, knives with a dedicated purpose do. I hobby-sell watches on auction-sites and often have to pop-off snap-on backs, in order to change batteries, swap out mechanisms etc. The tools available fo this are too often too smally to get a purchase on, or have a blade that's too thick to get a purchase. So this electrician's knife spoke to me. It arrived today and I am very impressed: it is solid, large-handles and very sharp. Having tested it on some reticent watch backs, it is perfect for the role and, being under £4, is effectively a "throw-away" should the role eat the blade. I don't expect it to, it's solidly built!

Get one , you definitely be not disappointment.

Really handy for stripping cable, and remarkably easy not to over cut through to insulation and into the shielding. This is going to save my teeth from a lot of work!
