Serrated Uncapping Knife Mellarius, Stainless Steel – 28 cm

Speed up your comb preparation during honey harvesting with the practical Mellarius uncapping knife. The serrated blade made of high-quality stainless steel easily removes wax cappings and represents an efficient alternative to the classic uncapping fork. The knife is particularly suitable for flat and evenly drawn combs, which can be uncapped quickly, smoothly, and with minimal effort.

Fast and Smooth Uncapping of Combs

The specially shaped serrated edge slices off wax cappings in one smooth stroke, significantly reducing the time needed to prepare frames before placing them into the honey extractor. The stainless steel construction ensures long service life, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. The uncapping knife comes from the trusted German beekeeping supplies manufacturer Mellarius.

Practical Tips for Use

Best results are achieved when working with thicker and evenly drawn combs. During uncapping, we recommend keeping a container of hot water at hand. Regularly heating the blade facilitates cutting through the wax and helps reduce cell damage.

In hollows and uneven areas where the knife blade cannot reach, the remaining wax cappings can be easily removed with an uncapping fork.
