Abstract
An improved method and cutting blade having two cutting prongs with sharpened cutting tips attached thereto, for accessing optical fibers contained in a buffer tube is provided. When the cutting blade is mounted in an optical fiber access tool, relative movement of the tool with respect to the buffer tube causes the sharpened cutting tips to score the buffer tube so that a section of the buffer tube can be separated from the buffer tube to provide access to the optical fibers contained therein.
