    <ACU:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock contextRef="From2012-01-01to2012-09-30">In June 2011, the FASB issued&#13;a new accounting standard on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new standard requires the presentation of comprehensive&#13;income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of&#13;comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The standard was effective for our quarter ended March 31,&#13;2012. The adoption of this standard was limited to a change in the presentation of our results, which we have elected to include&#13;as separate Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.</ACU:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

The Company presently believes that none of these matters, individually or&#13;in the aggregate, would be likely to have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity,&#13;as set forth in these financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;In December 2008, the Company&#13;sold property it owned in Bridgeport, Connecticut to B&amp;#38;E Juices, Inc. for $2.5 million, of which $2.0 million is secured by&#13;a mortgage on the property.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The property consists of approximately four acres of land and 48,000 sq. feet of warehouse&#13;space.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The property was the site of the Company&amp;#8217;s original scissor factory which opened in 1887 and was closed&#13;in 1996.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Under the terms of the sale&#13;agreement, and as required by the Connecticut Transfer Act, the Company is required to remediate any environmental contamination&#13;on the property. During 2008, the Company hired an independent environmental consulting firm to conduct environmental studies in&#13;order to identify the extent of the environmental contamination on the property and to develop a remediation plan. As a result&#13;of those studies and the estimates prepared by the independent environmental consulting firm, the Company recorded an undiscounted&#13;liability of approximately $1.8 million related to the remediation of the property. This accrual includes the costs of required&#13;investigation, remedial activities, and post-remediation operating and maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The remediation work, which&#13;began in the third quarter of 2009, was completed during the third quarter of 2012.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The Company, with the assistance&#13;of its independent environmental consulting firm, must continue to monitor contaminant levels on the property to ensure they comply&#13;with set governmental standards. The Company expects that the monitoring period could last a minimum of two years. At&#13;September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $148,000 remaining in its accrual for post-remediation monitoring and project&#13;closing costs, of which approximately $30,000 was classified as a current liability at that date.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The change in the accrual for&#13;environmental remediation for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 follows (in thousands):&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 80%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 33%; border-bottom: black 2px solid; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Balance at&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;        &lt;p style="margin-top: 0; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;December 31, 2011&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 34%; border-bottom: black 2px solid; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; text-indent: 0pt"&gt;Payments&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 33%; border-bottom: black 2px solid; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Balance at&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;        &lt;p style="margin-top: 0; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;September 30, 2012&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="background-color: #cceeff; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: black 4px double; text-align: center; text-indent: 0pt"&gt;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;239&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: black 4px double; text-align: center; text-indent: 0pt"&gt;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;(91)&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: black 4px double; text-align: center; text-indent: 0pt"&gt;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;148&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Also, as part of the sale, the&#13;Company provided the buyer with a mortgage loan of $2.0 million at six percent interest.

In conjunction with signing the new revolving loan agreement,&#13;the Company ended its agreement with Wells Fargo and used funds borrowed under the new loan agreement to pay all amounts then outstanding&#13;under the revolving loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The new five-year credit&#13;facility provides for increased borrowings of up to an aggregate of $30 million at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%,&#13;which is 0.25% lower than the interest rate under the former loan agreement with Wells Fargo. All principal amounts&#13;outstanding under the agreement are required to be repaid in a single amount on April 5, 2017, the date the agreement&#13;expires; interest is payable monthly. Funds borrowed under the agreement may be used for working capital, general operating&#13;expenses, share repurchases, acquisitions and certain other purposes. Under the revolving loan agreement, the Company is&#13;required to maintain specific amounts of tangible net worth, a specified debt service coverage ratio, and a fixed charge&#13;coverage ratio. These financial covenants in the new loan agreement are similar to the covenants in the prior agreement with&#13;Wells Fargo. At September 30, 2012 the Company was in compliance with these covenants under the new agreement with HSBC&#13;Bank.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;As of September 30, 2012 and&#13;December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $24,320,828 and $17,568,484, respectively, under the respective revolving&#13;loan agreements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;During the nine months ended September 30, 2012,&#13;the Company issued 5,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and received total proceeds of $21,000.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;There&#13;were no stock options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</ACU:DebtAndShareholdersEquityTextBlock>

The Company&amp;#8217;s reportable business segments consist of: (1) United States; (2) Canada and (3) Europe. As described&#13;below, the activities of the Company&amp;#8217;s Asian operations are closely linked to those of the U.S. operations; accordingly,&#13;management reviews the financial results of both on a consolidated basis, and the results of the Asian operations have been aggregated&#13;with the results of the United States operations to form one reportable segment called the &amp;#8220;United States segment&amp;#8221;&#13;or &amp;#8220;U.S. segment&amp;#8221;. Each reportable segment derives its revenue from the sales of cutting devices, measuring instruments&#13;and safety products for school, office, home, hardware and industrial use.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Domestic sales orders are filled&#13;from the Company&amp;#8217;s distribution center in North Carolina. The Company is responsible for the costs of shipping, insurance,&#13;customs clearance, duties, storage and distribution related to such products.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Orders filled from the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;inventory are generally for less than container-sized lots.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Direct import sales are products&#13;sold by the Company&amp;#8217;s Asian subsidiary, directly to major U.S. retailers, who take ownership of the products in Asia. These&#13;sales are completed by delivering product to the customers&amp;#8217; common carriers at the shipping points in Asia. Direct import&#13;sales are made in larger quantities than domestic sales, typically full containers. Direct import sales represented approximately&#13;12% and 16% of the Company&amp;#8217;s total net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 16% for the&#13;comparable periods in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The chief operating decision&#13;maker evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on segment revenues and operating income.

The new standard requires the presentation of comprehensive&#13;income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of&#13;comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The standard was effective for our quarter ended March 31,&#13;2012. The adoption of this standard was limited to a change in the presentation of our results, which we have elected to include&#13;as separate Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:BasisOfPresentationAndSignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>
