I’ve got a bunch of this old cable I acquired through FRC that’s been buried
for 25 years and now I want to use it!
It’s about 1-1/4” with a spiral aluminum shield. And really tough plastic jacket. I don’t know if
it’s age related, but I’m having a heck of a time trying to remove it. I used a pipe cutter for the initial
scoring, but otherwise just hacking at it with a utility knife tryin not to gouge the aluminum shield.
Suggestions?

hot water (or a gentle heat gun) to soften the plastic a bit? I've used
that technique when removing thick insulation from large gauge wire.
