information from 2 x Air Force Veterans:

"This is a cable/wire splicer's knife. The coping-type blade is designed for cutting thick insultation and the recessed round and flat areas to the rear are for stripping/scraping the insultation from wire. Telecom Insulation in those days was primarily paper tape or soft rubber/plastic.

Knife was commonly used from 1961 to early-1970's by USAF Inside/Outside Plant (Telco)/Cable/GEEIA

(now known as E&I-- Engineering and Installation).

Replaced by a straight knife and specialized stripping tools (primarily due to safety reasons both human and equipment).

These were great for stripping field wire for TA-312 field phones as well... "
