Run the knife along one side of the comb in a single smooth stroke — the double-sided blade slices wax cappings off cleanly. Flip the frame, run the knife the other direction, and the second side is done in another stroke. The kitchen-knife shape lets you hold and use the tool the same way you'd hold a chef's knife — no learning curve, no awkward Z-bend to adjust to. Most beekeepers who already cook find this shape the most intuitive uncapping knife in the lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a manual cold knife — it requires more force per stroke than an electric heated knife.
