John Primble

Blue Grass Cutlery, now the custodian of the John Primble brand, perpetuates the legacy of these esteemed knives, which began under Belknap Hardware Company in the 19th century. The John Primble knives, known for their high-quality craftsmanship and durable India Steel, were a hallmark of Belknap, a company founded in 1840 by William Burke Belknap in Louisville, Kentucky. This brand gained prominence for its exceptional quality and reliability. After Belknap closed its doors in 1985, Blue Grass Cutlery acquired the rights to the John Primble name, ensuring the continued production and availability of these iconic knives, much to the delight of collectors and enthusiasts.
