Peeler-style uncapping fork with stainless steel blade LYSON

01 · HOW IT IS USED

The tool sets the angle

The main row works by dragging: you rest it on the edge of the frame and pull towards you, lifting the layer of cappings in one pass. Since the angle is fixed, you are not hunting for the tilt every time.

The second row finishes corners and hollows — the places that leave honey behind if you skip them.

02 · WHEN IT BEATS THE KNIFE

When the comb is not flat

A knife wants a flat, well-drawn comb; the moment there are undulations it either cuts too deep or leaves cappings. This comb follows the relief, which makes it the tool for uneven frames.

It suits compact cappings — rosemary, eucalyptus — and cold rooms, where the wax is hard and a knife tends to tear rather than cut.

03 · WHAT YOU SCRAPE IS HONEY

The cappings bucket is not waste

Every pass takes wax that is soaked in honey, and that honey is recoverable: by draining, by pressing, or in a melter at low temperature.

Keep the bucket underneath from the first frame and do not let it cool: cold, the mix compacts and gives up far less honey.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

This is a hand tool: it pays off over a few dozen supers, it does not replace an uncapping machine.
