The Kabelmesser 6.5 cm Don Carlos from F. HERDER is a specialised electrician's knife, designed for the precise stripping of cables. The compact blade length of 6.5 cm allows for high control when working on cables, as the cutting edge is guided close to your hand. This knife is ideal for electricians, craftsmen, and anyone working in electrical installation who needs a reliable tool for fine cutting tasks on cables.
The blade features a serrated edge that tapers into an obliquely angled tip. The serrated cut effectively grips smooth plastic insulation without slipping – a decisive advantage over a smooth-ground blade for this material. Made from carbon steel, which the blade itself identifies as HIGH CARBON STEEL, it takes a very fine edge and retains it for a long time. After use, you should wipe the blade dry and occasionally oil it to ensure its longevity.
The handle is made of light beech wood and is riveted with two brass rivets for a robust connection. The blade bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the well-known spade symbol with the inscription PIKAS, and the series inscription Don Carlos. This cable knife is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen and stands for the quality standard that has distinguished the brand since 1727.

To ensure the longevity of your cable knife, you should thoroughly clean the blade after each use and wipe it dry. Especially with carbon steel, it is important to avoid moisture to prevent rust formation. Occasional oiling of the blade with a suitable care oil provides additional protection for the material. The knife is not dishwasher safe; the aggressive cleaners and high temperatures can damage both the blade and the wooden handle. If necessary, you can sharpen the blade with a fine whetstone to restore the original sharpness of the serrated edge.
You can treat the beechwood handle with a wood care oil if needed to preserve its natural beauty and resilience. This also prevents the wood from drying out and cracking.
