Looking to purchase a curry comb. Seen one in action after a day of fishing off a party boat. The deck hand scaled fish with one of these like it was butter with very little scales flying all over the place with what happens with the smaller scalers .

Normally used to comb horses .  :smt001

Enjoying the fam

Got 1 of those.  It works well for scaling fish.

They work well to clean bone dust off after sawing chops or bone in steaks too.

bottle caps.
Use a nail to punch a hole in the center of each cap, then use short woodscrew to secure them upside down to your choice of wood or plastic. I use 6-8 caps per scaler.

They work great, and it is a good excuse to get some beer in bottles :smt003
