This amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K of  International  Knife & Saw,
Inc. for the event  reported June 6, 2001 (the  "Original  Form 8-K") amends and
modifies the Original Form 8-K as follows:

         Item 2,  Acquisitions  or  Dispositions  of  Assets,  is amended by the
         amendment  of the  second  sentence  of the  first  paragraph  which is
         restated as follows:

         Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


         On  June  6,  2001,   International  Knife  &  Saw,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
         corporation  ("the  Company"),  sold all of the issued and  outstanding
         capital  stock  of  IKS  Klingelnberg   GmbH,  a  wholly  owned  German
         subsidiary of the Company  ("IKSK"),  to Diether  Klingelnberg  and TKM
         GmbH i.G., a company  organized  under the laws of Germany  ("TKM" and,
         together with Mr.  Klingelnberg,  the "Purchasers"),  for approximately
         $11.7 million in cash. The Company expects to record a loss on the sale
         of IKSK  of  approximately  $11.2  million.  The  loss  is  subject  to
         adjustment based on final closing values and transaction expenses.  The
         proceeds  from  the  sale  were   immediately   applied  to  repay  all
         indebtedness and other obligations owed by the Company to Deutsche Bank
         AG, the Company's senior lender.

         Mr.  Klingelnberg  and Thomas W.G.  Meyer are  managing  directors  and
         stockholders  of  TKM.  Mr.  Meyer  is a  minority  stockholder  of IKS
         Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  and the  parent of the  Company
         ("Parent").  In addition,  until April 20, 2001 Mr. Klingelnberg served
         as a director of the  Company  and  Parent,  and until May 31, 2001 Mr.
         Meyer served as an Executive  Vice President of the Company and Parent.
         At the time of the sale, Mr. Meyer was the Chief  Executive  Officer of
         IKSK.  The amount of  consideration  paid to the Company for the issued
         and  outstanding  capital  stock of IKSK was  determined by arms length
         negotiation  between  the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  and the
         Purchasers.

         In connection  with the sale, the Purchasers  agreed that, for a period
         of 18 months and subject to certain conditions, IKSK would continue the
         existing trading arrangements between the Company and IKSK with respect
         to current products manufactured by IKSK and purchased by the Company.

         Prior to the sale,  the  holders of a majority in  aggregate  principal
         amount of the Company's Series B 11-3/8% Senior  Subordinated Notes due
         2006 (the "Notes")  consented to the sale and waived  compliance by the
         Company with the provisions of Section 4.14 (Limitation on Transactions
         with  Affiliates),  Section  4.15  (Change of  Control),  Section  4.16
         (Limitation on Asset Sales) and Article Five of the Indenture governing
         the Notes, as well as any other relevant  provisions of such Indenture,
         to the extent applicable to the transaction.



         Item 7 (b), Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited),  is amended by
         the  amendments  of the second  sentence  of the first  paragraph,  the
         shareholder's  deficit  section of the Pro Forma  Consolidated  Balance
         Sheet  (Unaudited)  and the  addition  of note (f) in the  Notes to Pro
         Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet which is restated as follows:


                                       2




         Item 7.  Financial  Statements,  Pro Forma  Financial  Information  and
                  Exhibits.

                  (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)


                  On June 6,  2001,  the  Company  sold  all of the  issued  and
                  outstanding  capital  stock  of  IKSK  to the  Purchasers  for
                  approximately  $11.7 million in cash.  The Company  expects to
                  record  a loss on the  sale of  IKSK  of  approximately  $11.2
                  million.  The loss is  subject  to  adjustment  based on final
                  closing values and transaction expenses. The proceeds from the
                  sale were  immediately  applied to repay all  indebtedness and
                  other obligations owed by the Company to Deutsche Bank AG, the
                  Company's senior lender.

                  Set forth  below  are the  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated
                  balance  sheet of the  Company  at  March  31,  2001,  and the
                  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statements of income of the
                  Company for the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the three
                  months ended March 31, 2001.

                  The  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated   balance  sheet  and
                  unaudited   pro  forma   consolidated   statements  of  income
                  (collectively,  the "Pro  Forma  Financial  Information")  are
                  based on the historical  consolidated  financial statements of
                  the  Company,  adjusted to give effect to the  disposition  of
                  IKSK. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives
                  effect to the  disposition  as if it had occurred on March 31,
                  2001.  The unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  statements'  of
                  income give effect to the disposition as if it had occurred on
                  January  1,  2000.  The  loss  on  the  sale  of  IKSK  is not
                  considered in the presented  unaudited pro forma  consolidated
                  statements of income.

                  The  Pro  Forma   Financial   Information   is  presented  for
                  informational  purposes and does not purport to represent what
                  the  Company's  financial  position  or results of  operations
                  would actually have been had the  disposition of IKSK occurred
                  on the dates  specified or to project the Company's  financial
                  position and results of  operations  at any future date or for
                  any  future  period.  The  Pro  Forma  Financial   Information
                  reflects  certain  assumptions  described in the  accompanying
                  notes. The Pro Forma Financial  Information  should be read in
                  conjunction   with  the  historical   consolidated   financial
                  statements of the Company previously filed with the Securities
                  and Exchange Commission.
