What is the shortcut key for the knife tool?

I'm used to Premiere and Pinnacle systems, but I love Final Cut Studio more. I'm just getting used to the shortcuts now, when cutting a clip in the timeline it is time consuming to use a mouse every time you want to switch between tools, can anyone give me a hint where I can find a shortcut guide to all the tools?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), Mac OS X Snow Leopard

It's the blade tool. B for blade. A for arrow, which is the selection tool. Control-V will cut at the playhead.
