Please help educate me in the way of the alox SAK

Maverick, I half agree, since when stripping wire I like the flat side of the blade on the side I am going to push the removed insulation with. but I think that blade is to be more often used facing up, which then you are right, if the flat is down when in use by a right hander. so yeah, who knows.

Many moons ago when I worked in the electrical field I stripped wire with a knife more times than I would have liked. Always got caught without strippers, but always had a pocketknife. When I did have to use a knife I would situate myself so my left shoulder was against the wall the wire was protruding from, grasp the wire in my left hand, and rotate the wire between the blade and thumb of right hand and pull the stripped sheath to the right. So (for me) this grind is backwards. Maybe I am the exception to the rule, but is sure seems backwards to me. Oh well........first world problems. :)
