Olé! Here's a bit of matador history in a vintage Japanese-crafted pocket knife made in Seki, Japan by Yasuo Imai, circa 1950s. It measures 4.25" long closed and features a synthetic handle with a matador design and a stainless-steel blade. Yasuo was the father to one of Seki, Japan's finest craftsmen, Seizo Imai. After Seizo's passing, several vintage old stock models were found at his warehouse. This is one of these rare finds.
