Hand-held fly knife

Hand-held fly knives are knives whose own weight supports the penetration into the cut material when being cut. Sometimes it is a knife- like knife that is smoothly ground at the cutting edge and is characterized by a particularly robust structure and a flat face. This opens up the possibility for the user to penetrate deeper into the material to be processed by hitting the back of the knife . In the kitchen area, fly knives of different sizes and designs are used to chop up food. Fly knives were also used in the telecommunications industry to open cables that are sheathed with metallic materials (corrugated steel sheet, lead sheet) safely and without damaging the cores. Since the advent of plastic- sheathed cables in the 1980s, the importance of the fly knife has declined; its use is only advisable today (2012) for repair work on existing network lines. Other tools are also more or less suitable, but there is a risk of damaging cable cores with unsuitable tools.
