Collectors knives – Italian regional knives – Neapolitan tradition
Description
Offered at auction is a fascinating Mozzetta knife from the Kingdom of Naples, made by Michele Fraraccio in the early 2000s, a faithful reinterpretation of one of the most characteristic models of the southern knife-making tradition.
The Mozzetta arose from a precise historical evolution: in the Kingdom of Naples, following royal decrees issued to limit the port of pointed knives, models with the distinctive truncated blade appeared, lacking the traditional pointed tip. This particular configuration has made the Mozzetta one of the most iconic knives in the popular history of Southern Italy.
The specimen offered here features an elegant black glossy ABS handle, embellished with a crowned head and polished brass bolsters that give the knife a classic and refined look.
The blade is made of 420 INOX steel, with a satin finish and the typical mozzetta profile, a feature that immediately distinguishes this model from other traditional Italian knives.
Produced by Fraraccio in the early 2000s, it represents a splendid testament to contemporary Italian artisanal cutlery inspired by the historical models of the Kingdom of Naples.
