Revishvili, Zaza
Zaza Revishvili is from Georgia, not the American State of Georgia, but the nation of Georgia. As a youth, Zaza was identified as a promising artist. He was sent to the top schools where he was a top student. While he studied and practiced many forms of art and design, his personal favorites have always been metal sculpture, jewelry, and especially knife making. He emigrated to the US following the collapse of the Soviet Union and today lives in Madison, Wisconsin where he has established his workshop. From there, he makes knives, jewelry, and other art for the royalty and the elite of the world. His knives, swords, and other works are in the finest collections the world over, including the permanent collection of the Kremlin Armory in Moscow.
