Seizo Imai began making knives at 17 when he joined his father-in-law's knife factory in Seki, Japan. Taking over at 27, he built a new factory, producing "Parker-Imai" brand knives for Parker Cutlery in Chattanooga, TN for 20 years. Afterwards, and until his passing in 2014, he spent 21 years crafting the highest quality knives. His specialty was replica knives, and this Loveless Style knife is truly stunning example of his work.
