Is this a Parker made Sears knife?

[Gone2Three]

Hello friends, I have another mystery going that I may need help with.
So is this an early production Japan Parker knife for sears? This was part of the estate find and was documented as purchased new in 1983.
I've read up on the Parker Frost split and was questioning if schrade was involved. But information leads to his private label made in Japan.
Thanks y'all for helping me find out for my buddy.

Yes that Sears/Craftsman knife was a Parker/Eagle made in Seki, Japan. The eagle etch on the blade was kind of a trademark for them.

Most of the Sears/Craftsman knives were made by Camillus and Schrade. Those will bare the USA stamp. I believe Parker was the last to make their knives, during the Parker-Imai era, which were all made in Japan. By the way the thumb stud on yours must have been added later by the previous owner.

Thanks RevolverGuy! That's what I thought, just wanted someone to confirm my suspicions. Appreciate your response
