Saracca Romagnola

Description

This is a knife from Emilia-Romagna, and it was very common in the countryside around this area from the middle of the XIX century. The name “Saracca” probably comes from the Italian word sarago that is a fish with a thin body that reminds the shape of this knife. This knife was used for work, even if probably it was used in duels or tavern brawls, very common at that time. It is a real weapon with the incredibly sturdy frame of the handle, made from a single piece of cow horn, and an external spring mechanism which locks the blade.
