Victor I have also used a knife for this task and yes it does work pretty well until you are following a speaker wire on a home system and some how end up with the hot cord of your wifes favorite lamp in your hands and end up cutting that instead.

Seriously though, My father and I have always used a utility knife to strip wire. We would lay the wire to be stripped across our thumb in a cross pattern, then put the knife of the blade parallel to our thumb. This would allow for a more proper gauge of how much housing we were cutting off the wire and how deep we needed to go. I know, it wasn't the most safest way of stripping wire, but it was fast and pretty accurate and does what you need in a pinch. I've never cut myself, and the biggest problem I've ever had was with telephone wire and it's minute housing. I had to do those with my teeth, but the utility knife worked out with every other wire I ever had to strip.
