Daffy Report post Posted April 20, 2022 Used these exclusively at my old job opening telco and fiber optic cables. One word of caution, they can cut you to the bone and beyond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted July 14, 2022 I finally got the proverbial out and bought some of these hook blades this morning and in the afternoon used one to do some rough out cutting of some pieces in thin leather. I think I now prefer this blade to a standard one for that use. I could slide the blunt outside part of the hook on my table and just pull the blade through the leather, the leather being lifted off the table a bit by the hook shape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
