Large Turkish Uncapping Scraper
A Turkish-style uncapping scraper that combines a wide blade with stainless steel tines — part knife, part fork. The large head is about the width of a medium frame, so you can uncap an entire frame in a single pass with far less waste and mess than a cutter. The tines reach into sunken areas of comb a straight blade skips over.
Features
- Wide scraper head — about a medium frame's width for one-pass uncapping
- Stainless steel tines reach sunken comb
- Less waste and mess than an uncapping cutter
- Wooden handle, sturdy construction
- Works on all honey frames
How it works in real life
Hold the frame on your uncapping bench and draw the scraper across the comb in one stroke. Because the head spans roughly the width of a medium frame, you clear most of the face in a single pass — the wide blade lifts the bulk of the cappings while the tines dig into the low spots and uneven cells. It lifts caps rather than slicing a thick wax layer, so you waste less comb and lose less honey to the cappings. This is the fast option for working through a stack of frames.
Before you order
This is the large Turkish scraper — built for speed and full-frame passes. For detail work, tighter spots, or a lighter tool, the small Turkish scraper is easier to control. Both work on all frame sizes; the choice is how much comb you want to clear per pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Turkish scraper different from a knife or fork?
It's a hybrid — a wide blade that clears a broad area like a knife, with tines that reach sunken cells like a fork. You uncap more of the frame per pass with less waste.
Large or small?
The large scraper spans about the width of a medium frame for fast, full-frame passes. The small is lighter and easier to control for detail work.
Does it work on all frames?
Yes — medium and deep frames both. It's especially good on comb with uneven or sunken areas.
How do I clean it?
Warm soapy water clears the wax and honey. Dry the wooden handle completely before storage.
