The Cut Dove
 
This page attempts to record what is known about the origin and history of the origami design I call The Cut Dove. Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you.

Cuts are used to separate the tail from the wings.

This design first occurs in the books of Isao Honda and is quite possibly his original design.
