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).
