Description

This is a factory sample prototype for the Olsen Lil Critter Jr and still has the original factory stickers on it. It was made in Seki, Japan by Seizo Imai for Olsen circa 1970s. It measures 3.25" long closed and features a nicely contoured stainless handle with wood inlays and stainless steel blade. 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.
