Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement relates to the shares of the Class A Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Blount, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation (the "Issuer"), and to the shares of
the Class B Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
the Issuer. The address of the principal executive office
of the Issuer is 4520 Executive Park Drive, Montgomery,
Alabama 36116.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Blount International, Inc. (formerly HBC, Incorporated).
Blount International, Inc., a corporation formed under the
laws of the State of Delaware and formerly known as HBC,
Incorporated ("BII"), has its principal office at 4520
Executive Park Drive, Montgomery, Alabama 36116. Since
February, 1993, and until October 31, 1995, the sole
business of BII was to hold shares of the Class A and
Class B Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the family of
Winton M. Blount. During this period, members of the
family of Winton M. Blount and trusts for their benefit
owned all of the outstanding capital stock of BII. On
October 31, 1995, Winton M. Blount and such persons and
trusts contributed a portion of their ownership interests
in BII to The Blount Holding Company, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ultimately controlled by Winton M.
Blount (the "Blount Partnership"), and, as a consequence
of such transfers, the Blount Partnership became the
controlling stockholder of BII. On November 3, 1995, the
Issuer merged with and into HBC Transaction Subsidiary,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of BII (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, each
outstanding share of the Class A Common Stock of the
Issuer (except those shares owned by BII) was converted
into 1.5 shares of the Class A Common Stock of BII, each
outstanding share of the Class B Common Stock of the
Issuer (except those shares owned by BII) was converted
into 1.5 shares of the Class B Common Stock of BII, and
the Issuer became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BII. Prior
to the Merger, the shares of the Class A and Class B
Common Stock of the Issuer were registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), and were listed on the
American Stock Exchange. As a consequence of the Merger,
the listing of the shares of the Class A and Class B
Common Stock of the Issuer on the American Stock Exchange
was suspended, and appropriate filings under the Exchange
Act will be made to terminate such listing and
registration. In addition, also as a consequence of the
Merger, the shares of the Class A and Class B Common Stock
were registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act
and were listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The principal business of BII following the Merger will
be to own all of the outstanding common stock of the
Issuer. BII has not been convicted in a criminal
proceeding and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of
a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction which resulted in BII being subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, Federal or State securities laws or a finding of a
violation in respect to such laws.
On October 31, 1995, the date upon which BII initially
became obligated to file this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule
13D, Winton M. Blount was the sole director and executive
officer of BII and, due to such relationships, controlled
BII. As a consequence of the Merger, each of the
directors and executive officers of the Issuer became
directors and executive officers of BII.

Sporting Equipment.
(d) Mr. Blount has not been convicted in any such
criminal proceeding.

proceeding.

B Common Stock of the Issuer and pending delisting under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act. See Item 2 above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Not applicable. This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D is

See Item 2 above.
