Description
These knives were made in Seki, Japan by Seizo Imai circa 1980s. They have jigged cow bone handles with nickel silver bolsters and AUS-8A blades. These are blemished, but with the right knowledge might be fixable. 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.
