This is a vintage factory sample prototype folding knife made in Seki, Japan by Seizo Imai in 1982-1984 for Parker. The blade is Stainless Steel, etched to look like damascus and it features scrolled brass bolsters. Comes in box (may not be the original one for this model). Seizo Imai was one Seki, Japan's finest craftsmen and most famous knifemakers of the modern era. His collaboration with Parker spanned nearly two decades. He made knives for Parker, Frost, Browning, Explorer, Compass, Condor, and many others, including his own brands Imax and Seizo Imai. His custom Loveless style knives are works of art. After his passing, several vintage old stock models were found at his warehouse. This is one of these rare finds.
