I am always a bit wary of getting a Stanley knife near a T&E cable.
Most sparkies I have seen use the earth conductor itself to 'open up'
the outer PVC.

So much easier.

Exactly. Get a cut, even a small one, in or on the conductor insulation and
your cable is useless because it will leak.

You stab it where you're going to strip the conductors anyway.
