WEICHUANStainless Steel Serrated Uncapping Knife - Beekeeping Equipment Bee Hive Hand Tool Beekeeper Tool

This knife worked awesome. It's very sturdy and does a great job Decapping the honey. Especially if your cells over hang the frame. Even when the wax was below the level of the frame it still worked pretty well. You have to be careful because it is sharp enough to cut into the wood of your frame. Awesome value. Great product for the price. Buy this or get an electric knife. Ive found no better ways.

Works great on deep frames for de-capping

The knife works very well, as advertised. However, the bees don't always make comb that complies with the design of the frames we build. As long as the comb caps are above the surface of the frame, the knife is perfect. But when they are not above the surface, other methods are required in order to uncap the cells.

All items arrived in the time specified and all products were of good quality. I would shop with them again if needed.

Great quality. Does a great job at uncapping the comb on the frames to help with honey collection.

I'm not a beekeeper, so I've no idea how well this works for its intended function. I bought it because it was the right shape for my intended task: taking up 200 sqft of St Augustine grass for a new flower bed. If you've ever tried to take up old-growth St Augustine with a hoe and shovel, you know what a Herculean feat it can be. This knife looked ideal for undercutting the roots to take it up more simply, and it turned out to function very well indeed for that job.Note, however, that simple does not mean easy. It requires both hands and a significant amount of upper body strength -- on the level of an adult male or an athletic female -- to use the knife for more than a few square feet of cutting. And you're doing it on your knees, so buy some sturdy knee pads. You'll also need to be in pretty good shape cardio-wise, as will take a toll on your endurance. Taking up 200 sqft took me two and half hours with frequent breather breaks. If you're young (I'm 53) you could probably do it in half that time. You'll still need to go back with a hoe to get a few stragglers before you hit it with a tiller, but it's a lot simpler than doing it the old-fashioned way, especially with old-growth St Augustine.Or you could just rent a powered sod cutter. But I'm old, stubborn and tightfisted, so I used a knife.Pro tip: drag a bench file about three strokes across both sides of both edges every few passes. This will keep the tips of the teeth sharp and make cutting much easier for big jobs.

Good sturdy

Love this knife worked beautifully for uncapping honey frames
