Overview
Knipex built the 95 12 200 around an alloy steel handle, keeping the cutter's weight to 0.74 pounds. The brand is known for precision machined German hand tools, and this model follows that pattern.
The number 200 in Knipex model numbers typically refers to the tool's overall length in millimeters, which would put this cutter at roughly 8 inches, though the listing itself doesn't restate that figure directly. At under a pound it's light enough for repeated one handed cuts. No cutting capacity or material rating is given, so the range of wire or cable it handles is left open rather than assumed.

Who it's for
Fits a tradesperson or DIYer who wants a Knipex branded hand cutter for general cutting tasks and values the brand's reputation for tool longevity. Not the pick for anyone who needs a stated maximum cutting diameter confirmed up front.
Pros and cons

- Light at 0.74 pounds

Performance notes
The alloy steel handle is built to take repeated leverage without deforming, which matters more in a hand cutter than raw blade hardness alone, since the handle transmits the force of each cut.
