I don't know what kind of utility blade you use, but I found something at Harbor Freight you might want to consider. They have what looks like a folding clasp knife that uses the blades from box cutters. Just press the button down on the knife and the blade slips right out and you can turn it around and use the other side. It comes with 5 blades in the package. Price: 6.99. I also bought a box of 100 blades for 2.99. Using their common 20% off on the knife I got the whole kit and kaboodle for under 10 buck, including tax. I use the newer blades to strip the insulated wire with, and when the blade gets too dull to effectively strip the insulation, I replace it but keep it as it is still sharp enough to cut plastics and tapes bundling the wire together, or anything else I need to cut. And then, like everyone else here, when it gets too dull for any cutting, like all my other worn out tools, goes in the steel scrap pile. I love doing something where there is relatively little waste!!
