A cable shaving tool for shaving of a cable jacket of a cable, the cable shaving tool comprising:

• a blade holder having a guide channel extending along a length of said blade holder for guiding the blade holder along a cable length, said guide channel further including a first end having a cable channel, and a second end having a control surface;
• a blade removably securable to a blade support surface of the blade holder and extending within the guide channel and between said first end and said second end, said blade support surface at a longitudinal axis of said cable shaving tool;
• said cable channel having an apex, said apex having a first distance to a second surface of said blade holder;
• said control surface having a second distance to said second surface of said blade holder;
• and
• a handle removably securable to said blade holder having a handle length extending along said longitudinal axis in a direction perpendicular to the guide channel;
• wherein the handle allows the end user to place the cable within the guide channel in contact with the control surface, apply a pressure on said cable in a direction towards the second surface to set the blade and then move said cable shaving tool in a direction parallel to said cable length to initiate the cut;
• wherein said blade initiates said cut a predetermined depth into said cable, such that said predetermined depth is a differential between said cable channel first distance and said control surface second distance.
