PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein a coated optical fiber cannot be taken out easily, when a notch or a cut is not formed, in the outer coating layer for constituting an optical fiber cable body containing a tension member of a drop optical cable. SOLUTION: A pair of acting pieces are disposed so as to be freely openable to each other. A recessed groove is formed on at least one of the acting pieces. When the pair of action pieces are closed to each other, a through hole is formed between the pair of acting pieces, and a ripping blade is disposed on at least one of the acting pieces positioned in the through hole. By passing the optical fiber cable body, containing the tension member of the drop optical cable through the through hole, the ripping blade forms a ripped groove in the coating layer of the optical fiber cable body.
