A knife 10 is described comprising a knife body 12 of at least two part form, the knife body comprising a first body part 14 and a second body part 16, the first and second body parts 14, 16 cooperating with one another to allow a blade 18 to be secured thereto, the first and second body parts 14, 16 including interengaging formations 24, 26 which cooperate with one another such that sliding movement of the first body part 14 relative to the second body part 16 can occur, the formations 24, 26 securing the body parts 14, 16 to one another in a first relative position of the body parts 14, 16, and allowing separation of the body parts 14, 16 in a second relative position thereof, and a latch arrangement 28 whereby the first and second body parts 14, 16 can be latched against relative sliding movement from the first position towards the second position, the latch arrangement 28 comprising a resilient member carried by the first body part 14 and cooperable with the second body part 16 to latch the body parts 14, 16 against sliding movement towards the second position, and an opening 34 provided in the second body part 16 through which a tool, or part thereof, can be inserted to depress the resilient member and allow such sliding movement to occur.

A method of cutting a tie wrap, bound about at least one wire, using a cutting tool is provided. The method comprising steps of: applying a housing of the cutting tool to the tie wrap, positioning a portion of the tie wrap within a first groove of the housing between first two opposing sidewalls and second two opposite sidewalls of the housing, moving the at least one wire and maintaining the at least one wire a distance away from the tie wrap, moving a circular blade of the cutting tool against the portion of the tie wrap, positioned within the first groove, and at least partially cutting the tie wrap with the circular blade. In some examples, the method further comprises controlling a depth of the circular blade within the tie wrap while the circular blade at least partially cuts the tie wrap.

A tool for cutting a tie wrap bound about a wire bundle. The tool includes a body portion having a generally disc-shaped cutter and cutting edge. A shield covers one side of the cutter and defines first and second shield slots in communication with the cutting edge. A housing pivotally connected to the body portion covers the other side of the cutter and defines first and second housing slots that communicate with the cutting edge. The housing pivots between first, second, and third positions. In the first position, the first housing slot communicates with the first shield slot to expose the cutting edge for cutting purposes. In the second position, the first housing slot is out of communication with the first shield slot, thereby covering the cutting edge. And, in the third position, the second housing slot communicates with the second shield slot to expose the cutting edge.

A hollow rod developable actuator tool including a cylinder defining the outer circumference of the hollow rod, a first tool mechanism, and a second tool mechanism. The hollow rod developable actuator tool transitions from a first closed state wherein the first tool mechanism and second tool mechanism are contained entirely within the outer circumference of the hollow rod to a second open state wherein the first tool mechanism and second tool mechanism extent outside the outer circumference of the hollow rod.
