History of Barr Brothers, Inc.
 Founded
in 1873 by William and Hugh Barr, Barr Brothers Company has 130 years of
tool manufacturing experience. From the town of Eugene, Oregon, William and Hugh began
making industrial cutlery. From this humble beginning, the Barr brothers grew their
manufacturing operation. In 1912, Barr Brothers Company moved their
manufacturing operation to Oakland, California. Eventually they manufactured the finest
quality knives, axes, guns, ship building tools, burlap sack sewing needles and many other
steel products. The name Barr Brothers became synonymous with quality and soon their wares
were sought throughout the United States even though they never advertised or used
salesmen. Word of mouth by customers expressing their satisfaction with the quality
workmanship was all the Barr brothers needed to grow their business.
Today, based out of Redding, California, Barr Brothers Company is still
in the burlap sack needle business along with manufacturing a variety of high quality
stainless steel butcher tools. As a natural offshoot to the butcher tools (boning hooks in
particular), Barr Brothers Company expanded their product line to include
high quality stainless steel barbecue tools. These include barbecue meat turning hooks
(13”, 17” and 25” for both left and right handed users), the Monster Fork,
the Grill Grabber® grate lifting tool and the Grill Wizard® grate cleaning brush. Our
product line soon expanded to include additional barbecue tools and accessories noted for
their quality and uniqueness. Barr Brothers Company commitment to quality
has never wavered. Whether manufacturing, contracting or distributing, if the end product
is not a quality item, it won’t be part of the Barr Brothers Company
family of products. Please take a few moments to view all our grilling, food preparation,
cutlery, camping and garden tools and accessories (along with our gifts and shop tools).
I’m sure you will agree that these are the most functional, best looking, highest
quality tools and accessories you’ll find anywhere.
