Small Turkish Uncapping Honey Comb Scraper
A Turkish-style uncapping scraper that combines a wide blade with stainless steel tines — part knife, part fork. The broad head clears cappings in a single pass with far less waste and mess than a cutter, and the tines reach into sunken areas of comb a straight blade skips over. The small size is easy to control for detail work and tighter spots.
Features
- Wide scraper head with stainless steel tines
- Less waste and mess than an uncapping cutter
- Wooden handle, sturdy construction
- Works on all honey frames
- Reaches sunken areas of comb a cutter can't
How it works in real life
Hold the frame on your uncapping bench and draw the scraper across the comb. The wide head lifts cappings in a broad swath while the tines dig into the low spots and uneven cells, so you clear more of the frame in each pass than a knife alone would. Because it lifts the caps rather than slicing a thick layer of wax, there's less wasted comb and less honey lost to the cappings. The small size gives you fine control — handy around frame edges and for beekeepers who want a lighter tool.
Before you order
This is the small Turkish scraper — lighter and easier to handle for detail work and smaller harvests. For uncapping a full medium frame in one pass, the large Turkish scraper covers more comb per stroke. 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.
Small or large?
The small scraper is lighter and easier to control for detail work. The large covers roughly the width of a medium frame for fast full-frame passes.
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.
