Description:  Vintage WHITBY MELON TESTER Knife Yellow Celluloid UNUSED
Item specifics:
Vintage WHITBY MELON TESTER Knife in (Very) Near Mint condition. 5 3/8” closed. UNUSED.
Highly Polished 4 ½” Stainless Spear blade. Front tang stamp reads WHITBY FOREIGN STAINLESS. Rear tang stamp reads ROSTFREI. Smooth open, half stop, no wobble and smooth close with snap appropriate for this style knife (so you won’t get cut by the long thin blade). Perfect blade centering.
Yellow Smooth Celluloid Scales in MINT condition. NO cracks or scratches. Very nice feel and look.
Nickel Silver Bolsters, Brass Pins and Liners.
This was an estate find, and I was unable to find much on this knife brand. What I found was that Whitby is a town in Yorkshire, England. There is a Whitby & Co. that sells knives, but it appears they are a retailer of multiple brands, including their own, but they do not make knives.
The only other Melon knives I found with scales of this type were German made. And since the rear tang stamp reads ROSTFREI (the German word for Stainless), I am guessing this knife was made in Germany.
This is a nice example of a Melon Tester knife in Unused condition. It would make a fine addition to a collection.
