Electrician knife.

I bought a CK lock knife but it kept going blunt and I lost it when camping over the bank holiday. Prior to that I had a stanley lock knife which was ace so am just going to go back to it. Just be careful!

I use this knife and wouldn't be without it

its very good for stripping t&e and locks so no worry of it closing up like a pen knife

I also keep a small oil stone in my box just for keeping a good edge on it.

never carry this knife on your person out of work because I think lock knives are illegal

Stanley knives at college !! My tutor always said ' stanley knives are what carpet fitters use ' but I had a penknife that had a locking blade so He said that was fine but when he wasn't looking I would often use cutters .. old habits and all that :Blushing

flick knife that locks, have had it for years now, and its the nuts when you are one handed with a cable in the other hand.

but its generally a stanley, the plastic body one for the live (ahem) work,

I have one of those proper insulated ones too, but by god if I have any clue as to where it is......
