Benchmade Knife Company, based in Oregon City, OR, acquired Wilsonville, OR-based Lone Wolf Knives, Inc. The addition of Lone Wolf Knives to the Benchmade portfolio will allow the company to compete at the heart of the sports cutlery market with a purpose driven product line influenced by the outdoors.
“The acquisition of Lone Wolf Knives will be a great addition to the Benchmade family of brands,” says Les de Asis, founder and CEO of Benchmade Knife Company. “Those familiar with Lone Wolf Knives appreciate the extremely strong connection the brand and product has with the outdoors.”
New Lone Wolf Knives product will be developed in the coming months and will be launched at the NSSF SHOT Show, January 18th-21st at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In addition to the flagship Benchmade Knife Company product, the company also has exclusive licensing agreements to design, manufacture and market Harley-Davidson® Knives and HK Knives. The company also noted that despite the recent turbulent economy, it has been able to post several years of consecutive double-digit growth and recently added 20,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space to their manufacturing headquarters in Oregon City, Ore.
“We've been blessed to have talented employees and loyal customers and dealers that have helped us grow despite the economy” said de Asis. “We are very excited about the opportunities that will emerge as a result of our acquisition of Lone Wolf Knives.”
