Unlike the cold uncapping knife, the Electric Honey Uncapping Knife requires caution and a steady hand. It is comprised of a heated elongated metal spatula and a wooden handle, which serves as an insulator, to protect from being burned. This electric honey uncapping knife can reach a maximum temperature of 160 degrees, and so you should be extra careful when using it. For your own protection, it is recommended to wear beekeeping gloves when using this tool, and only hold the wooden handle. Furthermore, you should ensure that all bees are brushed off the frames (so as not to kill them) before using this tool.

The HLPB 110v Electric Honey Uncapping Knife comes with a power cord, which you can plug into any outlet. You should wait a few minutes to allow it to warm up before using it. You can adjust the heat into an average temperature to avoid boiling the honey with the knife. When you feel that it’s too hot, manually switch the power on and off and allow it to cool down for a bit.

This electric honey uncapping knife also works a lot faster than the cold or plane knives, in that it allows you to uncap frames much quicker, even giving you a smooth and even cell. However, some users would prefer a longer blade to go deep into the deep frames. However, If you’re not going to do that, then this tool is just what you’re looking for.

The handle is quite a bit thinner than most cold knifes, making it easier for you to work with. This lets your arm work comfortably and provides your fingers with a fine grip. However, it is quite a bit on the heavy side so you might experience a slight cramp, but, uncapping won’t take too long because the hot blade will make short work. If you have small hands, you might have some difficult maneuvering the tool, but with much practice, you’ll get used to it.

The HLPB 110v Electric Honey Uncapping Knife comes in at 110 volts, which compared to other electric uncapping knives, is less energy consuming.
