Mozzetta 15 cm Micarta Loveless

The mozzetta is a knife that has the end of the blade without a point, as if it were 'mozza' . The purpose was to obtain a knife suitable only for cutting, which could be worn more freely than a pointed knife, at a time when laws on the subject had become increasingly restrictive. Therefore, these knives are referred to as 'permitted by law'. The reference is to the Giolitti Law of 1908, which allowed the free carrying of knives with a blade length of up to 10 cm only on the condition that it was pointless. The blades of my mozzette are sometimes stamped with the mark PERMITTED BY LAW Regulation P.S. No. 62/81. The reference is to Article 81 of the Consolidated Text of the Public Security Laws . A regulation that is no longer enforced because, following a number of rulings by the Supreme Court, the carrying of any knife, other than a double-edged or switchblade, is currently subject to a justified reason.
