I cannot see the "-i" at the end at all. And in general the variant you propose sounds very strange for a Georgian name. Rivkin may know more about it. I'll look in my sources for that or similar name.
Your K. Zakrzewski might have served there before 1830 at which time there were no official Georgian sword shops. Unlikely for him to be an officer (based on the saber) in the Russian Army after participation in the Polish uprising. Another "KZ"?
What about the inscription on the other side?
The monogram ?
