GSM Outdoors has acquired Smith’s Products, the Arkansas-based specialist in the knife and scissor sharpening categories.
Terms were not disclosed.
“This acquisition marks an exciting milestone in our mission to inspire more people to experience the outdoors,” said Eddie Brady, SVP of brand management at GSM Outdoors. “Smith’s Products brings a strong legacy of quality craftsmanship and innovation that not only complements our existing family of brands but also enhances our ability to serve a broader community of outdoorsmen.”
Founded in 1886 as a family-run business mining and selling raw stone, Smith’s Products has evolved to offer a range of sharpening tools and knives designed for hunting, fishing, and culinary use, reflecting its transition from a stone-focused company to a supplier serving diverse outdoor needs.
“Together, GSM Outdoors and Smith’s Products are poised to deliver greater value, drive meaningful growth, and continue building a more sustainable future for the industry in every facet,” said Chris Leonard, SVP of sales.
