This is a vintage prototype folding knife made in Seki, Japan by Seizo Imai circa 1976-78 for Parker Frost. It still has the proto stickers on it from the factory. Comes in Parker box (may not be the original box 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.
