melon testers

[muskrat man]

does anyone know how many different (handle materials blade lengths ect) melon testers were manufactured during the schrade cut co. and schrade-walden periods? I believe they made a white handled model during the walden period and know they made a imitation bone (black) handled one during the cut co period. any others? I really like the melon tester style. I picked up a colonial the other day, and am keeping an eye out for an ulster, and case xx. Only problem is the cases' go so darn high. maybe i'll stick with our schrades, ulsters, and colonials.
take care

It is an SS105 and it was in pretty good shape, actually. My first Schrade Walden tangstamp.
