I bought several of Jay Parkers knives as well as a few from Tommy Clark. All of this "stuff" came out of Rhett's shop when Janie had her fire sale. There were some very legitimate pieces and there were some bona-fide nonsense as well, this one being one of the later.
The knife has already been to GTR and it is "not" a shop knife...in any way! Tommy specifically asked Gary if he had a problem with him (Tommy) selling and it and GTR said "no", which is how the knife came into Jay's hands...and, yes, Jay knew this knife was not shop made.
Someone is taking a short cut through the facts, i.e.: Using this piece and that piece to "piece together" a story.
A total fake. Hope this helps.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
