You should never need a knife to strip wires. The link you give doesn't take specs for the wire gauge, but I doubt it's any more than 30AWG. You should look into getting some appropriately sized wire strippers. I personally prefer
these, but there are plenty of good strippers out there. The only advice I'll offer on that point is to not get an automatic stripper.
With regards to CRL's post, it is very easy for thin wires to catch fire without tripping the breaker, simply because the current draw won't trip it (as has already been pointed out). It's hard to believe that the manufacturer would make such a mistake, but nonetheless, if you do resolder the wires (which is generally simpler and neater than soldering the existing wires to thicker ones), check for shorts before you power it, or power it away from the robot to make sure there are no shorts.
