Fraraccio "Permission by Law" – Traditional Mozzetta of the Kingdom of Naples – ABS White – 420 INOX Category Catawiki Collectors’ knives – Italian traditional knives – Contemporary craftsmanship Description Up for auction is this splendid specimen of the celebrated model "Permission by Law," handcrafted by Michele Fraraccio in the early 2000s and inspired by the historic Neapolitan Mozzetta tradition, one of the most distinctive knives of southern Italy. The Mozzetta originated in the territory of the ancient Kingdom of Naples following regulations that limited the use of particularly offensive points on pocket knives. From this historical evolution came the typical blade with a truncated tip and a distinctive profile, which today still makes this model instantly recognizable. The engraving "Permission by Law" evokes exactly this popular tradition, which over time has become a true historical designation for this type of knife. This specimen features an elegant glossy white ABS handle, enhanced by a brass end cap and ring, elements that confer a refined and distinctive look to the knife. The blade is made of 420 INOX steel, a material valued for good corrosion resistance, reliability, and easy maintenance. The clean lines and the distinctive blade shape make the Mozzetta one of the most sought-after traditional Italian knives among regional knife enthusiasts.
