Our History

Trail Blazer is a Canadian based manufacturer of knives, saws, tree loppers & extension poles which will meet any challenge, from odd jobs around the home & cottage, to the needs of the outdoor enthusiast. Trail Blazer is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia and also warehoused in the United States while marketed in Canada, the United States and more than 30 other countries around the world. Trail Blazer has set many industry standards for quality and performance since beginning operations in 1987.

In 1987, Curtis Levangie developed the Take-Down Buck Saw, which was sold at local sporting good shows and markets.

In 1990, Trail Blazer attended their first Trade Show resulting in sales to the United States & Germany.

In 1992, Trail Blazer was approached by the North American Hunting Club and was challenged to have their Take-Down Buck Saw field-tested. Not only did the Take-Down Buck Saw meet the challenge, but it also received a 100% recommendation from the North American Hunting Club to all their members. The North American Hunting Club has also field-tested and recommended Trail Blazer's Xtend-A-Saw (1995), Xtend-A-Blade (1998) and Xtend-A-Pruner (2000).

In 1995, Trail Blazer's products became available in national accounts, such as Canadian Tire, who in the same year presented Trail Blazer with their Source Canada Vendor Award (recognizing excellence in Canadian Manufacturing). Trail Blazer soon became available in other National accounts, such as Mountain Equipment Co-op (1996), Home Hardware Stores (1997) and Lee Valley Tools (1999).

In 1996, Trail Blazer's products became available in national accounts in the United States, such as Cabela's.
