Best way to strip fine wire?

[Tullygrainey]

Apologies if this is a question with an obvious answer but can anyone recommend the best tool or technique for stripping the insulation from fine wire, such as decoder wire? My present wire stripper is too clumsy for the job and I'm forever cutting the wire along with the insulation.

I use a 'Ceta Form' stripper from 'Electrical Merchants' if you have one of these outlets close by, it cost €16.00 approx.

Here is a link to the type but this is a CK tool and a bit more expensive;-

Thanks Eoin, those look a bit more refined than what I've been using!
