Hi everyone.

I'm looking for the crab traditional diagram with cut. Could you please tell me where to get it?

Thank you in advance.

this crab is quite nice if you can follow the sketchy diagrams.

There's a CP on page 26 in Origami Omnibus by Kunihiko Kasahara.
It consists of four birdbases attached to each other with one of their four flaps.

I believe that crab is the one diagramed in Yoshizawa's Sosaku Origami. It's a double blitzed frog base crease pattern.

I think it's the one with cuts. I recall it being the crease pattern of a blintz-frog base (AKA 4 bird bases) With a cut on the middle of each side going halfway to the center.

Though Seiji Nishikawa and Akira Yoshizawa have similar designs from an uncut square.
