Comb Cutters  
Comb Cutter Inserted into Honeycomb

Edge Angle

The edge needs to be acute so that it can be easily inserted into the comb and not damage the part to be retained and boxed.

Sharpen the outside, bottom edges on all 4 sides. This helps ensure that the comb to be taken (the center part) does not have edges which are compressed by the cutter's edge angle as the tool is inserted into the comb. This keeps the edges crisp for the product to be sold.

It was the bumble bee and the butterfly who survived, not the dinosaur.

Ongoing Maintenance

These are usually made from stainless steel, so they need to be kept clean, but no oils should be applied to the tool as they could taint the flavour of the honey.
