Fraraccio Sfilato “Siciliano” 21 cm – Marbled Resin and 420 Stainless Steel Category Catawiki Collectors’ Knives → Italian regional knives → Sicily Description Spectacular Sfilato “Siciliano” Fraraccio, one of the most representative models of Sicilian knife tradition reinterpreted by the famous Molisan manufactory in the early 2000s. This knife belongs to the great family of Sicilian sfilato knives, tools that for decades accompanied the daily life of farmers, breeders, artisans, and workers of Southern Italy. They were knives used for every daily need: from field work to small domestic tasks, up to convivial moments and meals eaten outdoors. Beyond their traditional use in everyday activities, this knife was often part of social moments as well, used at table for cutting cold cuts, cheeses, and other products typical of the local tradition. The specimen offered immediately impresses with the refined craftsmanship of the handle. The scales are made of marbled synthetic resin, characterized by suggestive ivory-white, gray, green, and black shades that make each piece unique aesthetically. The blade is made of stainless steel 420, a material chosen by Fraraccio for its reliability, corrosion resistance, and excellent edge-retention. As per the Molisan house tradition, the blade is particularly sharp and functional. An authentic collectible piece that preserves all the charm of the popular tradition of Southern Italy. Produced in the early 2000s, today many enthusiasts consider it a true classic of Fraraccio’s regional models.
