MONTGOMERY, AL, December 10, 2001– Blount International, Inc. [NYSE: BLT] ("Blount"), a diversified manufacturer of outdoor products, industrial equipment and sporting goods, announced the completion of the sale of Blount’s Sporting Equipment Group ("SEG") to Alliant Techsystems, Inc. ("ATK") for 3,048,780 shares of ATK common stock and $10,000 of cash.
