Kizlyar is a small town in Dagestan, a southern Russian province with a long and decorated history of warfare and weapon craft. It has a prestigious weapon manufacturing history that dates back to the 14th century. Some areas were dedicated to the production of swords and daggers (sashka and kinjhal) while others focused on firearms and the decoration of both previous types, but all would bear characteristics unique to Dagestan.
Brave people of Dagestan with traditional knives
Presently, the firm of IE Kizlyar Ltd. has the responsibility of upholding the traditions and crafts of those by-gone days by continuing the ancient trade of weapon manufacturing, weather its the production of traditional Cossack sashka (sabre), kinjhal (dagger) or finely crafted hunting and decoration knives forged in Damascus steel, adorned with precious stones and metals.
In 1992, IE Kizlyar Ltd. (previously known as «Energoremont») produced it’s first run of knives for special orders. Upon completion, the knives were of such high quality that many more orders were soon to follow, and thus the excellent reputation of Kizlyar Knives was forged.
April 1995 was to be a milestone in the companies history, being the first company in Dagestan to receive a licence for permission to manufacture hunting and military knives. Under Russian law, these items are classed as «cold weapons» and therefore, authorisation is required to legitimately produce them. This brought about the conception of the first, highly popular knife models-Scorpion, Taiga and Berkut. These found favour almost immediately with Special Forces and Police due to their aggressive design, nature and ultimate reliability.
The success of this venture brought about a wave of popularity, inundating the company with orders for more products, prompting a second company to be created in order to cope with ever growing demand. That being Kizlyar Knives.
This joint company was named in honour of the town where it is currently situated, Kizlyar, Dagestan. In keeping with tradition and authenticity, local craftsmen, armourers, jewelers and other masters in their craft, all with skills inherited from their family trades were invited to join the company in its success.
Re-affirming the companies success is the combination of centuries old traditions coupled with the application of modern manufacturing technology to produce authentic, high quality knives with supreme fit, finish and performance.
To say that the range of Kizlyar knives is large and diverse would be an understatement. There are over 100 different models and variations on each one. From traditional weapons such as Cossack sabres, Damascus models, hunting knives, military knives, folding knives to fishing knives and daggers. All of which are subject to compulsory certification.
While Kizlyar’s main production facility is in Dagestan, there are other branches dedicated to the production of Art knives and museum pieces. This department of Kizlyar was created in 2001. It is currently based in Saint Petersburg. It utilises the skills of Master craftsment, silver/goldsmiths jewelers and blacksmiths, of which are selected from the Muhinskaya Highest Art Academy. Knives and pieces created here are manufactured using the finest of precious materials including Damascus, Bulat steel, gold, silver, cupronickel, niello, enamel, bone and leather. Precious stones are also part of most pieces, you will see knives encrusted in diamonds, garnets and others.
High quality knives can only be produced by highly skilled blacksmiths, this is why Kizlyar employs the most famous Russian blacksmiths for it’s Saint Petersburg branch — L. Archangelsky, U. Sarkisyan, V. Soskov, S. Lunev and others. This branch produces hunting knives, kinjhals, Japanese tantos, collectible sashkas, swords, sabres, broadswords and the like. All work is carried out by hand resulting in the highest level of craftsmanship at every stage and adding to the artistic value.
Customisation and flexibility are some of the many keys to success for Kizlyar Knives, this is why the company offers the individual a chance to have a knife made to their own specifications and choice of materials. This has the advantage of presenting the customer with a totally unique product that not only satisfies their own requirements but is a one-off, rare and therefore collectible piece.
Throughout the years, Kizlyar Knives has made its mark on the world of cutlery manufacturing not only through its high quality products but its numerous awards, trophies and exhibition status. From the year 2000 onwards, Kizlyar has participated at more than 30 specialised shows and exhibitions annually in Russia and on the international scene.
