From Oakmark's second-quarter 2012 letter:

Blount International (BLT, Financial) is the global leader in the production of cutting chain for chainsaws. This is a classic “razor blade business,” as professional loggers need to replace their chains every 5-10 days. International sales, especially to emerging markets, are a large percentage of the total.
