Description

This is a vintage folding knife made in Seki, Japan by Seizo Imai circa 1980s for Explorer. The Sharpfinger is nicely shaped, and this makes a great pocket knife. It comes in the original box. 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.
