Fiskars Brands Announces Purchase of Superknife

09/01/2005


I am pleased to announce that Fiskars Brands, Inc. has acquired the brand names, patents and products of Superknife, maker of the “World’s First Folding Utility Knife”. Following the introduction of the original design in 2001, Superknife has grown into the most innovative line of replaceable blade folding utility knives in the marketplace. The Superknife product line will be integrated into Fiskars Brands' Outdoor Recreation division, Gerber Legendary Blades.

The acquisition of Superknife allows Gerber to continue to expand its platform of innovative products offered to our strategic customers and core consumers. I am extremely excited about the growth opportunities this integration will provide and look forward to building on the momentum that the people and products of Superknife have created.

Jason Landmark
President
