    hey jay. sorry for the confusion, and no such thing as dumb questions.  SEKI made knives were knives produced from the SEKI plant in Japan during the 1980s.  I assume most of that statement to be correct, Jan is well versed on this knowledge also.  Parker and some of the makers I have mentioned above, had their knives produced there during that time.  What I have been told, Jim Parker bought part of the SEKI plant back in the early 1980s.  Jim Parker produced the IMAI brand stamp for Parker brand knives during this era.  Not sure on the longevity of this IMAI brand for Parker made knives.  Know that many other brands were produce there as well, with the SEKI name also.  Hope this was helpful Jay, and I welcome Jan to come on board and educate both us hopefully.

    Thanks Tim
