May I offer a product recommendation, namely the Hultafors Electricians Knife.
I found this by chance when looking for something else, but I'm glad I did!
It's a knife designed for cable stripping. Now I know other knives can be used but it's tricky to slit 3 core mains flex, quickly and neatly without damaging a core or 2, and a chance of a finger cut or worse. This little beauty eliminates all that and is a delight to use. It will also slit and strip T & E and other types of cable.
Price is almost too good to be true for such a well made and designed item. JFYI I bought mine on Amazon but there are other stockists.
