Description from the seller
Fraraccio Zuava Classic Molisan 19 cm – Handle in Olive Wood and 420 Stainless Steel
Category Catawiki
Collectible Knives – Italian Traditional Knife Making – Fraraccio
Description
Fascinating classic Molisan Zuava made by Fraraccio, a historic artisanal cutlery workshop from Frosolone, one of the most important centers of Italian knife-making tradition.
This elegant specimen features a refined handle in authentic olive wood, characterized by beautiful natural grain that makes each piece unique, paired with a robust blade in satin 420 stainless steel. The careful workmanship and harmonious lines perfectly represent the tradition of popular knives of Southern Italy.
The Zuava is probably the most representative knife of Molisan peasant and pastoral culture. For over a century it has accompanied generations of farmers, breeders and artisans, who wore it daily in their pocket as an indispensable multi‑purpose tool. It was used for fieldwork, for meal preparation, for cutting bread, cheeses and cold cuts during workdays and for the numerous needs of rural life.
This exemplar, made in the early 2000s, preserves all the elegance and authenticity of the traditional forms that made the Molisan Zuava famous in the world of artisanal cutlery.
A knife that embodies history, tradition and Italian popular culture, ideal for collectors of regional knives, enthusiasts of Italian craftsmanship and lovers of Fraraccio production.
