Spiked uncapping fork with a wooden handle. The fine tines dig into the cappings and open the cells on uneven combs and sunken patches, where a knife or machine can't reach. It removes little wax, recovers the honey from the cappings and leaves the comb intact. Ideal as a starter tool and as a finisher for the automatic uncapper.
At harvest time, opening the cappings cleanly sets the pace for the whole extraction. This spiked uncapping fork, with its wooden handle, lifts the wax from the cells on uneven combs and finishes off the spots a knife or a machine leaves closed. Inexpensive and precise, it is the tool to start uncapping with and the fine finisher for any honey house.
The fine tines dig into the cappings and lift the wax even in the sunken patches, the corners and the uneven combs a flat knife skips over. That makes it the ideal finisher after an automatic uncapper: it opens the cells the machine leaves closed so all the honey flows through to the extractor.
By lifting only the layer of cappings you remove less wax than with a knife cut, recover the honey clinging to them and leave the comb intact for the bees to reuse, with less work for the colony on the next super. The turned wooden handle gives a comfortable, firm grip for uncapping frame after frame without straining your wrist.
