The best trout I ever had was freshly caught up in the Sierras on a camping trip. After gutting them and leaving the skin on without descaling, we put some butter inside them along with garlic salt and lemon pepper. Then, wrapped them up in aluminum and placed on a bed of coals for a few minutes. The entire fish, to include the skin, was out of this world. Outstanding knife review and video as always, bro!
Thanks for showing off that knife. Desert!
Fished all my life here in NM and never scaled a trout, no worries, if you want to that's up to you. Nice looking knife, seems to fit many task well and should do the job just fine. It's all in how you wield it eh... Tasty desert meal I'd say, looked delicious. Enjoyed this one James and the music from Cuervo, thanks to both. See ya next time.
Hi James!
I'm like you... I always remove the scales off my fresh trout, all species of fish with scales actually...
Great Quervo tunes!! He gets better n better!!
Best ever is wherever the waters clean and this fish are active. No pollution in the area. 👍
Excellent upload, always look forward to your adventures and the music in the background complements the whole thing. Thanks.
Excellent knife control sir. The music is haunting I love it
This truly shows how your reviews have matured over the years.
Outstanding video review!
Thanks!
I have a huge respect for Work Tuff. These guys know how to make a knife! Great video James!
I won the work tuff Mt. Laguna for a monthly Patreon giveaway and everything from the thickness to the fine edge says quality so I would expect nothing less from any of their knives. I agree it is a solid bush crafter knife. I do not take the scales off trout, if you are cooking on an open flame they almost burn off depending on how hot your flame is. The crunch on those chips!
Growing up in New Mexico and eating rainbow trout every year I have never removed the scales but to each their own . I say do whatever makes you happy. Keep up the great work James
Yeah, you don't scale a trout. Just fry the thing in garlic butter, till the skin gets nice and crunchy ;)
The end of the scene was the best part of this video today. That's pigs so nice. Innocent and aslo cute they face. 😊❤❤
I have eaten more trout than I can count cooked in almost as many ways and haven’t ever descaled them, come to think of it I’ve never descaled a fish of any kind. With trout the skin and scale peals right off after cooking. Great video and soundtrack as always friend!
Never tried seasoning after cooking the fish. We’ve always rubbed seasoning into them before cooking and then sprinkle on a bit of lemon after
James. The background behind you is beautiful.
As always, I love your videos. I appreciate in particular the demonstration of field skills that keep your channel relevant, informative, and "real-deal."
Sir you're genius. Really you are. And one thing special for me...when you talk about something. I love it ❤
James, thanks for the review . I was raised also to scale trout so I’m in the same boat bro!!! Happy Holidays!!
“Grandfather Bear’s Story” was beautiful, well done Cuervo! Thank u :)
Great informative video! I also scale trout because I was taught that even trout scales can get caught in the throat. I appreciate your videos and I actually use the information you put out. Your video on Oregon Dungeness crabs helped me to catch my first 9 crabs in 2021 in Bandon Oregon off their pier. I also kept a claw as a souveni. Thanks again for another great video! 👍
Most of the times I don't take the scales off, cook on the skin side but don't eat the skin itself. The kydex sheath looks very well made and I like that flat bottom so it doesn't rub through fabric. The knife misses a lanyard hole and that texture on the grip makes it more difficult to clean. I agree with the difficult price range. But it seems to perform well as an all round small camp knife.
Kind of a no thrills design with great capabilities. I like it! I was brought up descaling fish. Personally, I either stuff them ,and wrap in foil, or fry with a bread crumb, or flour mixture. If you don't descale them that way, and eat the skin you'll know. LOL! I bet though if one were to straight up fry with butter on a skillet it would probably cook them off. Atb Sean
A good performing knife. Nice meal, with the trout and the potatoes. Cheers, James!
Thanks James. I had been looking forward to your review of this knife. Enjoyed it very much. The Forester is one of my favourite bushcraft knives
I've always scaled em, James, but recently I was told you don't have to. And honestly, I can't tell much difference. It takes 2 seconds to do it, so do it how ya wanna do it! Great video! Try a BPS knife for budget options, I have the bushmate as a first try for them.
Thanks for the review
I really appreciate it 👍
That's beautiful.❤
Great video James. That definitely was a great meal. I’ve trout fishing quite often throughout my life some guys scale them and some don’t no big deal. I prefer not to. About the knife I agree with you over priced for all the competition. My wife and I Carry the Gerber principles around camp. I believe there were no more than $65 been using them for a few years now. Stay safe my friend
Congrats on 100,000 subs brother.
Scale a fish if pan frying , in the coals /over a fire leave the scales on. ..great vid James 👍👍
Been eating trout 57 years. Never scaled it. Eat everything but head and bones, never a problem.
I live in native trout country and salmon they have wonderful skin to fry and need no scaling .
Tons of trout. Never scraped once. Perch, bluegill on the other hand. Had a descaler for that
Thank you for a new vid.
Work Tuff gear makes some nice stuff
Thank you for the review.
Nice knife/sheath But I prefer a cheap Mora $20 for the same kitchen duties. Thinner and better slicer. ❤
As much as I love knives it is so hard to beat Mora's and just as hard to justify spending more.
Good eats!!!
Beautiful knife
Great video. Now I want some fish and chips 👍
Another great video. Music is 🔥.
I have never taken the scales off of a trout either but oh well. great channel!!
Hey James, I grew up in the men's of Western NC, and my dad would take me trout fishing often, we always scaled our Rainbows. I really like the knife slot, don't care much for the sheath tho, I prefer leather. Theirs a way of taking the backbone out of the fish removing the bones and leaving just the meat, done it many times. Also put ya some onions, Bell peppers and salt and pepper in those taters makes really good lol!!! Great video as always!!
purdy,,i bought a MarineCorp Kabar 30+yrs ago thatz butchered 8 whiteTail,,got 3 Buck 110's,,one i carried hitch hiking in the late 1970's still razor sharp. I need a Cool Hat😇✌🏼
I like how that scandi blade is able to “slice” the potato and not “split” it like other scandis.
Good review
Trout skin GOOD!!!
👍 Very good review. Thank you for sharing.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Good stuff.
All was look forward to the new junkyard fox video .How do you think it is compared to the full tang mora
Awesome video. I enjoy your content. Could you explain blackening A little bit. I'm not a cook and it's not something I'm familiar with but I realize that you use it in most of your cooking. Stay true to yourself and do what you do
Cooking fish and warding off demons all at the same time!! My man
Comida sin Chile, no es Comida..😮😂
Great video Mano...
Nice hat..
Great job on the video, as always. I absolutely love Cuervo’s track at the end - I didn’t catch the name of that track though. Beautiful melody. What’s the name of that track please?
Enjoyed the video. Great little knife. A good campfire and a cast iron skillet always cooks up a great meal.
James. Remove the scales on the trout is definitely a good idea, especially if you like to munch crispy skin. James, does Cuervo have a link to his music? Best content ever content. Nice steel as well. See ya bud
Hey James what’s your opinion on the Bowie knife and have you ever thought on buying one?
Always scale my Rainbows.
You made me hungry bro and I already ate
They actually gave it a higher scandi , thats what really bugs me with these thick scandi designs of late. They make the grinds way too shallow.
You are right, the market is over saturated with these kinds of knives. At that price range, I'd rather spend a few more bucks on an LT Wright....Or much less like I just did on a Tops Tanimboca Puukko 😁
Love me some Tops 1095hc scandiVex blades, their Brakimo won me over 4 years ago .
That WT gear is nice but doesn't have anything that speaks to me. I love knives with charecter like your old Green River blade ...I gotta get me one of those .
I was taught that if it has scales, then you descale them... but I can't tell you if there was any logic to it. I have a rock that keeps tigers away - I haven't been bitten yet. As someone said above: to each their own.
179 😮
Its good knife.how can we order sir do you outlet here in the philippines?
Dont scale them well i mean it would hurt nothing just a waste of time lol would you ever try to debone a anchovy?
Cheapest knife on the market, you need to try the pathfinder Scorpion HD knife by far a better knife
yo james, you should review guns
I never scale my trout
Why do so many people leave their potato skins on
the coke bottle type handle isn't traditional
It was popularized by Ray Mears’ knife design back in the early 90s. Almost 30 years later, the woodlore design has influenced countless makers and models. at this point it very much is traditional.
let me rephrase it, a traditional puukko handle isn't a coke bottle handle@@JunkyardFox
Okay, I don't mean to sound snarky. But its just an over priced Puko knife. Did I spell Puko right? I'll stick with Mora knives.
Veitsi, and puukko, mean knife, so saying puukko knife is like saying chai tea (tea tea)

You're always asking, "What's up, everybody". How are we supposed to answer that question, because I haven't got a clue?
You’re a smart kid, figure it out
@@JunkyardFox
That's a cowardly answer! Let's see if you're smart enough to figure it out, and then let me know.
If you want to eat the skin, remove the scales, if you want the juiciest, tastiest trout, leave on the scales and don't eat the skin.
.......
What ?
$179 bucks ?...guess mass production knife makers are laughing at us ! A lot of hype in the knife industry.
The only spec that you left out (intentionally) about the knife, is that the handle is made of horrible plastic!
Exactly at 2:05, I mention they are actually made out of G10 scales. Pay attention.
@@JunkyardFox
Well, I've never heard of the term G10 before. I could give you many codes that you would not have a clue about.
@@redblade8160 google it then, instead of accusing me of intentionally leaving out details, just because you’re ignorant about things.
@@JunkyardFox
You're an aggressive little runt. I did look it up afterwards, you fool.
@@redblade8160g10 is not plastic tho. It’s Garolite, resin and glass fiber infused.
Be smarter, inform yourself, learn to listen, then talk.
Usually 6 years old in primary school learn this, maybe you skipped class.
Fish is gross. F I’m forced o choke it down I’m removing te scales
Why all the one liners , let's get started,go and get your boots dirty. A bit corny
Chill Ustase. It’s his video.
I find corny Croatia claiming Marco Polo and Nikola Tesla as Croatian but you don’t see me arguing with Ustase about it.
Cheers from Italy, where Marco is from.
