Revo Brands Acquires Outdoor Edge Cutlery
Revo Brands, the parent company of Real Avid, has added Outdoor Edge Cutlery to its family of consumer brands. The transaction closed Nov. 4, 2021.
Outdoor Edge is a manufacturer of knives and hand tools designed for outdoor enthusiasts and professional tradesmen. David Bloch founded Outdoor Edge in 1988 and for 33 years has led the continuous growth of the company. Bloch will play a key role in continuing the success of the Outdoor Edge brand and products.
Bloch commented, “I never imagined Outdoor Edge would evolve from my college knife design project at Colorado School of Mines into the leading cutlery brand of hunting knives, replaceable blade knives and home processing sets. This is a very exciting time for both me and my family as I pass the leadership torch onto Revo Brands. I’m grateful for the opportunity to assist with Outdoor Edge’s future through my passion for designing innovative knives and collaborating with our newly expanded team to take Outdoor Edge to the next level of growth for many years to come.”
Outdoor Edge will maintain an office and staff in Denver, and relocate warehousing and distribution operations in Spring 2022 to the Revo Brands facilities in Plymouth, Minn., with no disruption of operations anticipated.
“I couldn’t be happier having Outdoor Edge join our family of brands,” said Roy Wetterstrom, CEO of Revo Brands.
“We’ve admired the company for many years and feel privileged to be able to lead it through its next stage of growth.”
Revo Brands operates in partnership with Vertikal Brands, a holding company established by Clearview Capital in partnership with, and managed by, a group of outdoor industry executives, to pursue the acquisition of premium brands in the outdoor industry.
