Beekeeping
3-Piece Stainless Steel Beekeeping Tools Set with Wooden Handles
Product description
What's included
The set contains three items: one serrated uncapping knife, one multifunction hive scraper and one wooden-handled frame gripper. Each piece is intended to cover common extraction and inspection tasks around the hive.
Frame gripper
The frame lifter has a wooden handle and a clamping hook that lets you grasp and lift frames with a single hand. Its hook is curved to reduce damage to comb and to help avoid disturbing the insects while you handle honeycomb frames.
Uncapping knife
The uncapping knife measures approximately 1.06 x 11.61 inches (2.7 x 29.5 cm). It is designed to slice through wax cappings cleanly so you can free honey without excessive tearing of the comb.
Hive scraper
The scraper is roughly 1.3 x 10.63 inches (3.3 x 27 cm) and performs multiple functions: prying open sub-covers and supers, breaking apart propolis-sealed sections, scraping wax and debris, and levering out nails or stuck parts when needed.
Materials and finish
All working surfaces are stainless steel and the handles are solid wood. The metal resists rusting, while the wooden grips offer a comfortable, traditional feel and help with control during delicate work.
Specifications and packing
Material: stainless steel and wood. Color: silver. Size details are as shown above. Package contents: 1 x Uncapping knife, 1 x Frame gripper, 1 x Multifunction hive scraper.
Care and safety

Sharp blades and comfortable wooden grips
Chose these for the wood-and-steel build. Metal wipes clean easily and the handles feel natural. Sanitize before first use and treat the wood with mineral oil if it dries.

Well-made hive tool set
Solid construction. Knife handles burr and bridge comb cleanly. Hive tool is larger than expected and has a removable hammer section I seldom use. Wooden handles are pleasant; J-hook and scraping edges are useful. Frame gripper good for occasional lifting.
