This cold uncapping knife is specifically designed to allow beekeepers to quickly and easily cut through wax cappings on honey frames without the need for electricity. The 11 inch long, 1 3/8 inch wide stainless steel blade features a sharpened, angled edge that is ideal for removing wax caps, while preserving the honeycomb your bees worked hard to make. The 5 inch handle fits comfortably in your hand for easy maneuverability.
Tips for Uncapping:
Dipping the blade in hot water between frames allows the blade to slice cleanly through the wax.
For even better efficiency, purchase two knives. Keep one in hot water and when the knife you are using cools, you can swap it with the warmed blade.
Use a capping scratcher to open cappings you cannot reach with the knife.
