Uncapping Fork
An uncapping fork is a tool with fine tines used for opening the wax cappings on honey combs before extraction in the honey extractor. It serves as an alternative or supplement to the uncapping knife, particularly useful for reaching lower spots or missed cappings. The fork scratches through the wax cappings without removing large amounts of wax.
