A one-off piece crafted by Ikuo Nagata, a custom knife maker based in Akita, Japan.

The black handle features mother-of-pearl inlay depicting a red-crowned crane and the moon.
The crane design differs on each side, like two quiet moments from the same night.

This piece features a hidden three-stage mechanism, offering smooth and stable operation when opening a bottle.
When closed, every part rests neatly inside the handle — clean, restrained, and unmistakably Japanese in spirit.

The blade is made from Damascus steel, with flowing patterns that contrast beautifully against the soft glow of the mother-of-pearl.

This is not a piece made to shout.
Its charm lives in the details: the placement of the moon, the line of the crane, the feel of the mechanism, and the quiet tension that only a one-off piece can carry.
