I have no knowledge about the knife company or style and would like general or valuable information about the knife.
Through Google I've seen it referred to as a "survival knife", "special ops knife", "1980's", "Parker Bros. knife", and old Ebay auctions valued it at $200.
In my opinion, it's is in "fair" shape at best but I could be wrong. Still has original sharpener but the compass on the bottom has been busted out.
Thanks for starting this blog and providing any information about the knife!
Not ignoring you. Just don't have any information for you. Send a PM to Knife7knut since he has one. (Ray has one of everything )

Jerry, I own about 30 Parker's but I've never bought or even held a Frost or Parker/Frost knife. What the quality like in the Frost knives or the Parker/Frost knifes. The Flying Falcon you have there reminds me of a Parker I once had, it was OK quality with good fit and finish.
About low average. Not a gas station counter piece of junk but then not great quality.

Here's a nice thick stag Parker Brothers K128 Lock Back with blank banner eagle blade etch (which just happens to be for sale in case anyone's interested)

Nothing extraordinary, just a handy little flying falcon. It's carried a lot and used some. Found it at a gun show in a bucket full of knives the dealer was selling @ 2 for a buck.

...and a couple more little Parker Lock Backs. I will point out that the Parker Beaver Tail is of noticeably higher quality than the Parker-Frost Husky. Not too surprising, really...a lot of folks have mentioned that, generally, the Parker-Frost era knives just don't have the same quality construction as other Parker collaborations. They look good enough, but, unfortunately, very often something was lost in the execution. Nothing wrong with it aesthetically, however.

I've always been a fan of the USA Parker pen knife - I like the design and slimness better than an Eisenhauer. The little damascus razors are nice little knives as well. I know Parkers get a bad rap, but I have nothing bad to say about the USA Parkers I have ...
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee
I just love these little Parker Lock Backs; they're cuter'n a bug's ear!

Picked up this nice Parker-Edwards over the weekend at the Shriners Gun and Knife Show in Chattanooga, TN. It is a close likeness of the Case 521500 that was produced when Jim Parker was the owner of Case. Very possibly made at the same factory in Jacksonville, Alabama.
The bone & stag used on Parker knives is often kind of weird, IMO; but, you have some very attractive bone on your Parker-Edwards razor trapper, DR_M. Good looking knife.
Here's a fat stag "Punkin' Seed" lock back with some of the better stag I've seen on this brand.

Looked good in the pictures til it got home. Somebody did a halfstep (I'm keeping it clean, y'all know I mean halfa$$) attempting at redoing the handle. Shot it nice and black but didn't do anything about the chipped and missing original coating.
Was gonna go original, but I've seen plenty of those.

Hello. This is a set of Parker bicentennial doctors knives with the statue of liberty and the liberty bell - one in gold and sterling silver over pewter, and one in sterling silver. Both signed Shaw-Leibowitz.

I have no idea why it is called "New Orleans" and what the figures at the bolster mean?
I love that Parker set, It would cost a pretty penny to get them all.
I had a paper with info on each knife in that set, can't find it right now I'll look some more.
I have to admit... I picked this one up more due to it being produced by Schrade than it being a Parker.
...but I really do like the green bone and the blade etch. Its a series I'm interested in getting more of... especially since Schrade made some of the earlier ones... but not sure how many?
Back in the day (early 1980s) I used to sell a ton of Parker knives at gunshows. Parker and Old Cutler (a Colonial brand) were my two biggest sellers. Nowadays I only have a couple of Parkers left, a boot knife and the Whittlin' Jack shown below. I always liked the assortment of colors they had on their bone handled knives.
One final showing of my Parker knives. I had a great time collecting them, but now I'm selling them all.
