If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION

BLOUNT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Full Name of Registrant

Former Name if Applicable

4909 SE International Way

Portland, OR 97222-4679

Address of Principal Executive Office

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b‑25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

x	(a)	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Blount International, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 within the prescribed time period because the Company has not yet finalized its consolidated financial statements or completed its assessment of internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) and our independent registered public accounting firm has not yet completed their audit of our consolidated financial statements and our ICFR for the year ended December 31, 2013. Although the Company has worked to remediate the internal control weaknesses reported in our December 31, 2012 Form 10-K/A, due to the timing of identification of certain of these internal control weaknesses, we expect management’s report on ICFR included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 will conclude that ICFR are not effective as of December 31, 2013 and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as of that date.

The Company is in the process of finalizing its analysis to record impairment charges to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for certain of its recent acquisitions and our independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its audit of this analysis or the related impairment charges. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States governing the accounting for intangible assets are complex and multiple steps are prescribed in the assessment and determination of related impairment charges. The charges taken will be reflected as a non-cash charge to operating income.

Due to the current status of the items described above, and the expected timing of the receipt from the Company of the necessary information related to those matters, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated to the Company that it is unlikely that the fiscal 2013 audit will be completed within the 15 day extension period.
