You will find the full spectrum of products under the
United Cutlery Brand, from movie knives to swords
to novelty items. United strives to make cutlery to
the highest standards possible in quality, value, and
performance.
History
United Cutlery was established in 1984 as a design and
sourcing company in the sporting cutlery industry. As
United and its design, sourcing, and marketing capacities
grew, the company began to produce and distribute products
under the United brand into traditional cutlery markets.
In 1990 United acquired the Colt® Firearms cutlery
license. The Colt product line expanded Uniteds
presence into the sporting, firearms, police, and military
markets.
In 1997 United added the Harley-Davidson® license
to its portfolio. The Harley-Davidson product line opened
the market to the Harley-Davidson dealer network. The
program has achieved such a high level of success that
United now supplies Harley-Davidson with OEM products
for special events, and was granted the Harley-Davidson
100 th anniversary license. The Harley-Davidson cutlery
product is now considered an essential core accessory
for the Harley owner.
In a move to expand its market and diversify the product
line, United acquired the Stanley®Tools cutlery
license for North America in 1998. This program opened
doors to new distribution channels including hardware,
Do-it-Yourself, and mass retailers. Because of the success
of the licensed product line, United was asked to design
and supply Stanley Tools with some unique and innovative
box opener tools on a global OEM basis.
Early in Uniteds history a second distinctive
product segment was developed based on movie replica
cutlery products - fantasy cutlery. In 1987 United was
licensed to produce the knife from the movie Rambo®.
The products from the Rambo series of movies far exceeded
any expectation of commercial success for a licensed
movie product, and established United as the preeminent
supplier of movie replica cutlery merchandise. Since
Rambo, United has produced licensed products for over
30 films including Zorro® , The Indiana Jones®
trilogy , Terminator® and Terminator 2® , Total
Recall® , Hellboy® and Blade® . The most
noted current movie products are from New Line Cinemas,
The Lord of the Rings® trilogy.
United has developed a unique niche in the market by
developing exclusive arrangements with several custom
knife designers including Fred Carter®, Gil Hibben,
Kit Rae®, and Dellana. Each designer has their own
distinctive style and creates innovative and exclusive
designs to target their particular fan base.
In the past three years United has successfully added
the Outdoor Life® license. This license provides
United with the opportunity to cover mid-tier and mass
market sporting goods retailers with a wide variety
of branded cutlery and camping products that meet all
of the price point needs for these channels.
In 2002, United added the United States Army Ranger
Association® and the UZI Firearms® licenses.
In 2003, United added Ford® Motor Company and The
Fast and the Furious® brands to reach the fast growing
automotive aftermarket.
United Cutlery Brands distributes its own branded products
and licensed products through an extensive distributor
network as well as direct to retail sales. United prides
itself on delivering outstanding customer service and
high quality products within the cutlery industry. It
has distribution capabilities in the US and around the
world.
Over the past twenty years, United has grown from a
small cutlery sourcing company to the fastest growing,
most creative, and dynamic cutlery company in the world.
United Cutlery, with the other David K. Hall companies,
now has the capability to create, design, engineer,
market, manufacture or source, and distribute products
in all categories of the cutlery and fantasy industries.
