Proto J18500 Electricians Pocket Knife 3 Inch Blade

Product Description

The PROTO J18500 is a partially serrated electrician's pocket knife built for cutting wire insulation, slitting cable jackets, and general cutting tasks on the job. The 3-inch combo-edge blade combines a straight edge with a serrated section, giving the technician versatility without carrying two tools. The wood handle provides a secure grip during repetitive cutting work. At 0.25 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight blade that fits comfortably in a tool pouch or chest pocket. Electricians, low-voltage technicians, and HVAC service techs who need a reliable utility knife on hand will find this a practical addition to their kit.

This knife is suited for electrical and low-voltage installation work where a dedicated cutting tool is preferable to a utility knife. Common applications include stripping wire insulation, opening cable packaging, slitting conduit wrap, and general utility cutting on residential and light commercial job sites. The partially serrated blade handles fibrous and jacketed materials that a straight edge alone would struggle with. It is sold individually and is compact enough to carry as a secondary tool on any service call.

Installation Notes

This knife is a hand tool and does not require installation. Always close the blade before storing in a tool pouch to prevent injury. When cutting cable or wire insulation, use controlled strokes away from the body and keep fingers clear of the cutting edge. Follow applicable job-site safety protocols for bladed hand tools.
