The Hiro Zipangu Crane Damascus: A Japanese Pocket Knife with Art in Its Soul

Forged in Tradition, Finished in Precision

The Hiro Zipangu Crane Damascus is more than a pocket knife. It’s a tribute to centuries of Japanese bladecraft, fused with modern design. Born in Seki-City, the heart of Japan’s cutlery industry, this knife embodies the legacy of master craftsman Masui Hiroaki. The VG10 Damascus blade, mirror polished to a liquid shine, slices with precision and holds its edge. Whether you’re cutting rope, trimming fruit, or just admiring its finish, this knife delivers.

Functional Elegance You Can Carry

At just over 13 cm long, the Hiro Zipangu Crane Damascus fits easily in your pocket. The aluminium frame is light but solid. Etched into the front is a detailed Mt. Fuji scene—a nod to Japan’s natural beauty and its makers’ discipline. Its liner lock is snappy, secure, and easy to operate one-handed. The single thumb stud makes deployment fast and smooth.

Designed to Be Used, Built to Be Admired

This isn’t a knife that gets lost at the bottom of your drawer. It earns its place in your daily carry rotation. The stainless-steel pocket clip keeps it snug, tip-down, where you want it. And because the Hiro Zipangu Crane Damascus blends style with substance, it fits just as well in a collector’s case as it does in the pocket of someone who values craftsmanship in their everyday tools.
