What is the use of uncapping knife?

A sharp knife gets the job done, and our cold uncapping knife certainly does make it look easy. An offset handle and a center ridge were designed specifically for cutting the wax cappings from a frame of honey.

Great for just a few hives. Have more than a few, or want more control? Try our electric uncapping knife, or adjustable temperature electric uncapping knife.

Note:

• Blade is 11"
• Dipping the blade into a pan of hot water between cuts makes the uncapping easy. For even easier uncapping, purchase two uncapping knives. Uncap with one and leave the other in a pan of hot water. Once the first knife cools, just switch knives.

Hi Jack, if it’s cheap, it’s no good. It looks similar to one I have at home here. A lady wanted me to try it out for her. It cost her around $30.00. This one doesn’t have a thermostat. You just turn it on & use it. After extracting one frame, it got that hot that the honey on it started to smoke. So I turned it off. I told the lady, but she hasn’t picked it up.

The one you are showing is advertised to have a thermostat, so it might be ok.

After a closer examination of the product, it looks exactly the same as the one in my back room. It’s even cheaper.
