Abstract
A tool including a handle, a blade-carrying portion attached to a first portion of the handle and a guide portion attached to a second portion of the handle. The second portion of the handle is movable with respect to the first portion of the handle thereby defining a variable distance between the blade-carrying portion and the guide portion. The guide portion includes a channel defining a longitudinal axis and a blade including two opposing ends and a generally u-shaped portion having a cutting edge thereon. The u-shaped portion is attached between the two opposing ends of the blade and the two opposing ends are pivotally attached to the blade-carrying portion. The blade is pivotable between a first cutting position and a second cutting position with respect to the blade-carrying portion. The blade defines a first cutting direction when in the first cutting position and defines a second cutting direction when in the second cutting position. The second cutting direction is approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis. A blade guide is attached to the blade. A tool according to the present invention permits an elongated sliver of insulation to be striped from adjacent to an intermediate conductor of a multi-conductor cable.
