A cable knife is shaped to open a sheath without reaching the conductor beneath it. That is the whole design: the blade is hooked or depth-limited so it cuts the outer covering and stops, where a general knife cuts through both and nicks the core. Blade depth is set at manufacture rather than adjusted by the user.
A nicked conductor is the failure this leaf exists to prevent. It carries current normally at first and then heats at the reduced section, which is why the fault appears weeks later rather than at the moment the cable was stripped. It is also the reason a general knife is the wrong tool however carefully it is used.
Full insulation on these tools is a rating rather than a grip, stated on the tool as it is on any VDE product. A knife used near a live circuit is insulated throughout, and damage to that covering ends the rating however sharp the blade remains. Insulated knives are also inspected before use rather than only when they look damaged.
The rest of the run is fixing and termination. A cable tacker fixes cable along a surface without a separate clip and nail, and a punch down tool seats a data conductor into a terminal and trims it in one action.

Cable knives are held at two lengths so the reach suits the cable being opened.
