I have to agree with Ed, that a decapping plane is FAR SUPERIOR to the
decapping knife.  I used a knife for three or four years with much
dissatisfaction.  Then I tried a decapping plane.  What a difference!
I'll never touch a decapping knife again!  As far as hand-held decapping
equipment goes, the decapping plane is tops in my book!  Interestingly
enough, the dcp (decapping plane) is marketed in Canada, where the
decapping question originated.  I don't have the address of a supplier,
but see the dcp regularly advertised in American Bee Journal for about
$60 (give or take, not sure if that's Canadian or US).
