What are the other uses for an uncapping knife?

If it were me, I'd ask my bf. He could find lots of uses for an uncapping knife (none of them good).

The uncapping knife...

1, it's covered in wax & honey so it goes to the kitchen sink?

2, The honey comes off but not the wax so maybe it goes to the Project Table in the garage?

3, Some emergency woodenware issue arises so it goes to the To-be-done-later bin?

4, the scrap from the woodenware gets place over the knife for use later?

Check you scrap pile :idunno:

Good luck...Wait, did you lend it out?

I'm not an uncapping knife so I don't know where I would hide.
But I have lost three hive tools this spring.

Maybee in your truck, after using it to scrape ice of the windows last winter  :-D

If you keep loosing your hive tool by another and another and another, sooner or later you will have enough, and will always find one some where, works with most tools, don't give up  :roll:

DON'T look for "me".  Just start cleaning up the garage, or the back porch or the car trunk and I will show up when you least expect it.  That is the way I usually find things.

Just today I found a diamond tennis bracelet I had been missing for about a year.  All I did was decided to throw away all the books and magazines that had been piling up on the night stand by my bed and  there the bracelet was. Things only show up at my place when I about decide I have lost them for good and quit looking. :-D

i usually find lost items long after giving up the search for that item and have moved on to look for something else. then it jumps right under my nose. try looking for your car keys or something.
