Vintage 1986 Parker-Edwards USA Pocket Knife – A95155S – Single Blade – Faux Bone Look Handles

This vintage Parker-Edwards pocket knife was made in 1986 in Jacksonville, Alabama, during the brief but well-regarded era of American-made Parker knives. Featuring a single clip-point blade and distinctive faux bone-look handles, it’s a streamlined, reliable folder from a manufacturer known for solid craftsmanship and transitional designs.

The tang stamp reads "Parker-Edwards – Alabama, USA" on one side, and "A95155S – Made in USA – 1986" on the reverse, giving it both a pattern number and a definitive production year. The blade has a clean edge and crisp action with strong open-and-close snap. The handles appear to be synthetic, made to resemble aged bone or ivory with yellowing and streaking that may have been part of the original aesthetic. They are tight and crack-free.
