This quality uncapping knife makes quick work of uncapping your frames by applying limited heat, effortlessly slicing through the cappings for honey extraction.
- 110V power
- Preset temp
- 1 year warranty
PRO TIP: running 9 frames in your 10 frame honey supers causes the bees to draw the cappings out a little wider, making it MUCH easier to uncap! Consider using our frame spacer tool to get consistent frame spacing in your supers every time.

Knife quit working already, maybe I’m doing something wrong with it. Got through about 20 supers then quit heating again. Love Hillco , this is my least favorite product, everything else is 5 stars from hillco, not this knife.
Update: Hillco is the best bee company in the world, They replaced the faulty uncapping knife, they gave me a serrated beautiful uncapping knife, amazing customer service, absolutely wonderful, 5 stars for Hillco
This heated uncapping knife is okay, but doesn't have a thermostat screw to regulate temperature. It works about as well as my old one that I was hoping to replace (which does have a temperature adjustment screw). But keep in mind that it was a low-cost knife, so I should temper my expectations. Definitely works better than an unheated knife.
Great value!
I bought these items for my daughter for Christmas who just got into bee keeping friends of mine who bee hives recommended your company
Worked ok not as well as I had hoped. The knife actually has a bow to it so it would hit top and bottom of frame but would leave cappings in the middle. I’m running 10 frames so the bees didn’t draw them out fat. Maybe I’ll try 9 frames next year and see if that makes it easier to uncap
