The Mozzetta Italian Regional Knife by Berti has a pointless blade, or "cut" blade as the name translates to. This knife style became popular after a law passed in 1908 that prohibited knives with pointed blades longer than 4 centimeters (about 1.5"). Due to the Giolitti law of 1908, this knife was created, and the blade limit for the Mozzetta style were 10 cm, (about 4 ") allowing people to carry a longer blade "by law" thus increasing its popularity.
Regional knives are pocket knives that have a distinct style based on what region the knife comes from. There are 20 regions in Italy, and each region produces a different knife style.
