A cutting tool and method of using the same provide for cutting the protective elements of a monotube-type optical fiber cable without severing the buffer tube in order to access the buffer tube and the optical fibers found therein. The cable cutter includes a pair of handles with a pair of blades connected to the handles in the same manner as a typical shear-type cable cutter. The blades are designed with specifically dimensioned slots to protect the buffer tube from being severed while allowing the remaining cable components to be cut by the blades. An alignment slot is utilized in one blade to align the cable to be cut. In a second embodiment, strength member slots are formed in each blade for allowing the strength members of the monotube cable to remain unsevered while the remaining protective components are cut.
