Heated Blade for Efficient Honey Uncapping

The electric heating system warms the blade to a pre-calibrated temperature, allowing it to move smoothly through wax cappings. This can make uncapping more efficient than using a traditional cold knife, particularly when preparing multiple frames for extraction.

The sealed thermostat is built into the blade to help maintain the intended operating temperature during use.

Food-Grade 304 Stainless Steel Blade

The knife features a 10-inch long × 2-inch wide blade made from food-grade 304 stainless steel. The wide cutting surface provides useful coverage across honey frames while the stainless steel construction is designed for durability and repeated honey harvesting.

The blade material is also well suited to equipment used directly around honey and beeswax.

Made in Southern California, USA

This electric uncapping knife is handcrafted in Southern California, USA, by Pierce Beekeeping Equipment Company. The company has a long history of producing uncapping equipment, with the original design dating back to 1941.

Comfortable Turned Wood Handle

The knife features a turned wood handle designed to stay cool to the touch while the blade is heated. This provides a comfortable grip and helps make longer uncapping sessions easier to manage.

The balanced handheld design gives you control as you work across each honey frame.

Ready-to-Use 220/240 Volt Design

The knife is designed for 220/240 volt operation and comes with an 8-foot grounded cord, making it suitable for Australian electrical requirements when used as intended.

The grounded cord provides convenient reach around a honey extraction workspace without requiring the operator to work immediately beside the power source.
