Manual Knives
Manual knives are hand-operated cutting tools used by developers and technicians for precise tasks such as trimming materials, cutting cables, or opening packaging. They typically include utility knives, box cutters, and precision knives, offering control and versatility in physical work environments. While not a software technology, they are essential hardware tools in fields like hardware prototyping, network installation, or general maintenance.
Developers should learn to use manual knives for hands-on tasks in hardware development, lab setups, or DIY projects where precision cutting is required, such as modifying enclosures or stripping wires. They are particularly useful in embedded systems, robotics, or IT infrastructure roles that involve physical assembly or repairs, providing a safe and efficient alternative to improvised tools.
