Thanks Mark! It's a small knife, but one to have if you like Parkers. ::nod::

Im new to the brand. So why are Parkers so affordable? Collectors don't know them? I've never handled one. Are they as well made as other Japan knives? They look pretty cool.
To those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected ones will never know.

Rick, I am not an expert, but will try to give a little insight. They are 8) and are still affordable locally where I am, but online the prices have been going up lately. What attracts me to them is the number of patterns and variety of scales/covers and blade types that can found in all these patterns. And Japan made is my thing. Some, like the fixed blade I posted above are what I consider high end knives. Parker had a "Custom Series" also, which are very nice quality, but of course cost a lot more.

Some folders can be rough feeling on the walk, most I have found are not. I think they are appreciated more now than back in the 80-90s. They make for a nice collection at affordable prices vs. GEC, Case, and many others. Jim Parker also owned Case for a time and Bulldog Brand, and others. There are threads here on the forum where you can get more info.

What I said is very generic I know. Simply put, I collect them because I like 'em. Hope this helps answer a few questions. ::handshake::

....."because I like 'em"....., is always the best reason in my books, and I have the Parker knives to prove it! ::groove::
