This is a vintage folding knife made in Seki, Japan by Seizo Imai in the early 1980s. A nice little knife and very similar to the Buck 527 Treasury series. It features a wood handle with brass liners and stainless steel blade. This one is a factory sample prototype and still has a factory sticker on it. 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.
