Kissing Crane Knives: A Collector’s Dream!

When I think about Kissing Crane Knives, what comes to mind is a candy store of trappers in a never-ending, mouthwatering parade of colors, textures and themes. Literally, you can fill an entire wall with all the Kissing Crane Trapper editions that we have available! Every year, I look forward to our new crop of Kissing Cranes and, as we consistently sell out of limited editions, it’s obvious that our avid collector’s do, too.

Starting with a long history of exceptional craftsmanship, the brand was actually founded in 1834, in Germany. It became the brand to rely on for high-quality pocket knives and now, over 180 years later, the tradition of quality continues and is going strong. Known for using premium handle materials like burnt bone, exotic woods and stag horn, then, further elevating the tone of each knife with accents like abalone, mother of pearl and marble, Kissing Crane has risen to the forefront of knife collections.

Each knife is individually designed by one of our creative designers. Folks, I’m talking about a real human being who puts their passion and artistic talent into creating a one-of-a-kind piece that can be found nowhere else on the planet. They meticulously choose the colors and premium materials to be used in the crafting of the handle scales and they design the artwork that is to be etched onto the blades. Believe me, you won’t find a pocket knife that has more of the designer’s soul built into it than a Kissing Crane. I’ve watched it happen!

From annual editions marking holidays to limited editions commemorating the anniversaries of historical events, there’s a Kissing Crane series for you to collect. I, personally, love the Halloween series of trapper knives. So much imagination and fun went into their designs each year and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one! Another theme this brand has really paid beautiful tribute to is the Vietnam War and its veterans. If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for one of these veterans, you really need to give them our newest version of the Kissing Crane Veteran Trapper. And speaking of gifts, I’d almost bet money that you can find, one of these collectible pocket knives for any occasion, even Valentine’s Day.

I keeping talking about how these knives look but, seriously, when it comes to function, any one of our Kissing Cranes makes a great everyday carry pocket knife. Quality of work is what the brand started with and made its name with, so you can rest assured that each knife is razor-sharp and built-to-last. And I can vouch for the razor-sharp blades since I’ve been “bitten” a few times when I was careless in handling them. Trust me, they’re sharp right out of the box.

I’ve mostly referred to the trapper knives, but Kissing Crane also puts out exquisite stiletto knives, small toothpick knives, classic lockback knives and our ever popular, fun little leg knives. I wasn’t kidding when I said there was a knife for every occasion because you truly will find something for everyone! Go ahead! Check out our collection.
