About this product

  • Overall length: 8 inches.
  • Brass working head with a short neck and metal collar.
  • Turned handle with a hanging hole for storage.
  • Includes one scaler; preparation accessories are not included.
  • Hand-wash, clear trapped scales with a brush and dry thoroughly before storage.

Product Overview

The TS-252 manual fish scaler pairs a broad brass working head with a turned handle. Its curved head has recessed channels across the face and teeth along the edges, offering a different shape from rectangular pin plates and covered collectors.

The 8-inch overall length places the grip behind the short neck and working head. A hanging hole at the end of the handle provides a storage option after whole-fish preparation and cleanup.

A broad head with toothed edges

The brass head has a curved outline, recessed channels and teeth along its perimeter. Its wide shape is visible in the product view, along with the short neck and metal collar at the handle.

Choose this curved-head format when comparing scaler designs. The working head is exposed, so inspect it while the tool is still and keep fingers away from the teeth.

Keep your hand behind the working head

Hold the turned grip and secure the fish on a stable board, with your supporting hand clear of the scaler's path. Use short strokes against the direction of the scales, moving from the tail toward the head.

Pause to reposition the fish instead of reaching across the toothed head. The scaler removes surface scales; use a separate fish-bone tweezer when preparing fillets that still contain pin bones.

Clear the channels before storage

After preparation, remove scales caught around the teeth and recessed channels with a brush. Wash the scaler by hand and dry it thoroughly, including the connection between the head and handle.

Store it where the exposed teeth will not snag other utensils. The rear hanging hole can keep it off the preparation surface when placed on a suitable secure hook.
