Zavyalov was established in 1820 as a small family workshop in Russia before its historic name was revived in the 1990s. It returned to the global stage with a renewed spirit, preserving its original essence in crafting luxury handmade knives. The company’s products are distinguished by precise manufacturing and unique design, as artistic engravings are hand-carved onto the steel using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Anatoly Korovinsky, the company’s artistic director, said, “We are proud of the quality of our knives that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. We strive to offer pieces that combine functionality and appeal, providing our clients with custom-made options in terms of materials, sizes, and design.” The Zavyalov booth received significant attention from visitors who admired the beauty of the displayed pieces and their intricate details, reflecting the depth of Russian heritage in knife-making. This participation aligns with the exhibition’s approach to embracing global brands with rich cultural stories, offering products that transcend being mere tools to become artistic pieces. The knife sector at the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition is one of the most prominent sections that narrate stories of heritage, embodying the meeting of traditional crafts with contemporary creativity, reflecting the UAE’s pride in its heritage and openness to global cultures.
