Heads up on the new green fiber sheathing in the Westgate complex
I've seen three guys this month strip it back too far with a standard blade, exposing the inner buffer and causing signal loss. The material is way softer than the old stuff, so you only need a light score. Anyone else run into this and have a better tool for it?

Actually, that new sheathing is a nightmare with a standard blade. A lot of guys are switching to a razor knife with a shallow depth setting. It gives you way more control for just scoring the jacket.

Yeah, @gray_mason30 is totally right. I tried to use my regular knife on that stuff and just butchered it, cut way too deep into the wires. Switched to a razor knife and set it so only like a millimeter of the tip sticks out. Lets you just run it around the jacket with light pressure, then it snaps clean. Night and day difference.
