Using your Klein Tools Lineman's Skinning Knife is easy. When you need to score or slit a cable jacket, hold the knife firmly by its comfortable handle. Place the blade on the cable and apply gentle pressure while moving it along. For removing wire insulation, use the notch on the back of the blade. Just slide it along the wire to scrape off the insulation. When not in use, keep the knife in the available leather sheath (Cat. No. 5163) to protect the blade and prevent any accidental cuts. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the blade clean with a dry cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Don't use the knife for tasks it's not designed for, as this could damage the blade or the handle.
