Description
Offered at auction this magnificent "Il Caccia" Fraraccio, one of the models most appreciated by enthusiasts of traditional Italian cutlery and the hunting world.

Made in the early 2000s by the historic Fraraccio cutlery of Frosolone, this knife represents a successful evolution of the Molisan classic slip-joint, enriched with specific features that have made it particularly loved by hunters.

Beyond its traditional use in daily activities, this knife was often at home in convivial moments as well, being used at table for cutting salumi, cheeses and other products traditional to the local heritage.

The specimen has a total length of 23 cm with a 10 cm blade in 420 INOX steel, durable, reliable and easy to maintain. The beautiful handle is made of polished natural horn, selected and handcrafted, with elegant shades that make each piece unique and unrepeatable.

The peculiarity of the model is represented by the traditional cartridge extractors for calibers 12 and 16, integrated into the metal guard. A historically much-appreciated solution by Italian hunters, which converted the knife into a practical multitool during days spent in the woods and countryside.

In addition to hunting use, this knife was often the centerpiece of outdoor convivial moments, accompanying generations of enthusiasts during hikes, hunting days and gatherings with friends.

In terms of size, build quality and aesthetic charm, it represents one of the most interesting Fraraccio models from the early 2000s.
