Who makes this simple wire-wrap stripper?

Some forms of insulation on that type of wire can be simply "pinched" with needle-nose pliers and folded back.

I think you're after strippers made by OK Industries? DigiKey and plenty of other places sell them... see, e.g.,

I have one of those, one size only though, it came with:

Doesn't show in the picture, but it was stored in the 'hollow' handle.

From your description I guess you mean the Clauss no-nik wire stripper. These strippers were used for teflon insulated wires (wire wrap). I still have one in my possession These days they seem to be used to strap glass fibers.

Have used the same for over 25 years. They still strip. These hold the wire straight out so the cut is even. I think the other stripper is just a blade with ta slot. I even have them for 24 gauge wire wrap. I think Teflon was kinda bad because it had soft flow.

Thanks, that's the closest so far. It's still large, with the slitted element in the middle of the tool instead of the end, but perhaps it could be remounted on something.

I took a WSU-30 and filed off the little aluminum rivet (the barrel is anodized aluminum) to free up the blade, and then clamped it in an X-acto handle.

I concur with Chafik. I have this same RatShack wrapping tool, and the widget you describe comes with it and stores in the handle. Description is identical. Still works great after 20 years of casual use. In fact, that's mostly why I keep the wire-wrapping tool - to store the stripper in something large enough it won't get lost. :-)

They may have offered the stripper separately at one time, but no longer.
