## Before you buy

- The listing gives a total length of 205 mm and a separate item length of 20.5 Centimeters, which are numerically equivalent, but labels 205 Millimeters as blade length elsewhere. Treat the actual blade length as unconfirmed and check the item details if that dimension matters. The VDE and voltage-testing statements are manufacturer claims, not independent verification.

## In the box

- 1 cable knife (Included): The explicit contents list names the knife. The description also claims a protective cap, but the package list does not separately confirm it.

## A good fit for

- Electricians or cable installers seeking a hand knife for slitting cable outer sheaths.
- Buyers who want a hooked, double-edged blade and a protective storage cap.

## Less suited to

- Buyers who need a confirmed blade length before purchase.
- Anyone relying on the VDE or voltage-testing claim without checking suitability for their specific electrical work.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the C.K T0990 designed to do?
It is described as a knife for slitting cable outer sheaths while avoiding damage to inner conductors.
### Does it cut on both push and pull strokes?
Yes. The listing describes a double-edged blade intended to cut on both strokes.
### What length is the blade?
The listed dimensions conflict: 205 mm is stated as total length, while another specification labels 205 Millimeters as blade length. The actual blade length is therefore unclear.
### Is a protective cap included?
The product description says it is supplied with a protective cap. The explicit included-components entry lists one cable knife but does not separately name the cap, so check the selected listing if the cap is essential.
