A tool (2A or 10) for stripping a sheath (22) from a wire (10) or cable (19) includes a handle (24 or 124) having a blade carrying portion (30 or 130) and a guide portion (32). The blade carrying portion of the handle is attached to an upper arm (28) while the guide portion of the handle is attached to a lower arm (26). The upper arm is pivotally connected to the lower arm for allowing placement of the cable in the guide portion. The blade carrying portion includes a blade (33) having a generally U-shaped portion (34) disposed between two cutting edges (35 and 37), a blade guide (36) and two pins (38) for pivotally connecting the blade to the blade carrying portion. The guide portion of the handle includes two guide channels (56 and 58 or 156 and 158) configured to position the wire or cable adjacent the U-shaped portion of the blade.
