BNC Line Cutters

[Rickoz]

Hi I've done a search for a web page, but no go.
Anyone know of it :confused:

BNC line cutters ?

to me that means british naval connector, which is not a scuba tool. What is your definition of BNC ? I am confused.

I thought it was a kind of Coax connector.

You are correct, we are talking about the same BNC. BNC is the older Network connection used on computers. Locks like coax but it is the connectors that make it different. The BNC type are twist locking using a spring at the connector and 2 little pins on the sides.

I am sure there is alot of it out there still, but new networks are using CAT5, Fiber optic or even wireless now.

If he needs a really slick line cutter, I saw a hook knife at DEMA that dang near made me pee in my pants.
I'll see if I can track one down on the web someplace.

G'day

Try looking for an RG-58 coax stripper at www.Anixter.com

You may need an RG-62 coax tripper instead.

Why are you resisting the 21st century? Twisted pair is much faster and less problematic. the equipment is so cheap now and available at the consumer electronnics stores.

Yah, those are hook knives.
As a Jumpmaster, I've had my hands on all sorts of hook knives.
The Italian hook I saw looked like it'd take a 3/8" line in the wink of an eye, by far the best blade I've seen in over 25 years of parachuting. (or 35 yrs of diving).
"Innovative Scuba Concepts" has them, they're made by an Italian outfit.

sn# TM-1601
comes with sheath, 7-1/2" long, $10 - $12 retail
They're not pictured on the web site, & you'll have to go through your local dealer to get them.
The major distinguishing factor about these knives is the use of semi-serrated razor blades, it looks like it would have no trouble zipping through a tree branch, not to mention a piece of line.
If you can't find a shop to order the critters for you, give a yell. I'm going to be getting some of them for myself.

Another source for hook knives is a parachute supply house, one that I've used quite a bit is PARAGEAR.

Look under "accessories", and then select "knives".
The Italian knife I mentioned looks like the "Jack the Ripper" but with serrated stainless blades.

Happy Hooking...:mean:
