The Belknap Hardware Company was originally founded by William Burke Belknap in 1840 in Louisville, Kentucky. The company started out producing iron products such as horseshoes, nails, spikes and such. Let's establish a little historic perspective; Mr. Belknaps contemporaries were the likes of E.C. Simmons and A. F. Shapleigh whose respective companies achieved remarkable success. Mr. Belknap ran the company for 40 years and, arguably, can be considered an inspiring example of American entrepreneurial spirit! The Belknap Hardware Companys catalog eventually consisted of more than 117,000 items. Unfortunately, this grand American company ran out of economic gas in 1986 (though it outlasted two of its giant competitors; Simmons and Shapleigh). During its existence, it sold a variety of trademarked brands of product. One such brand was the John Primble offering of traditional pocket knives (initially started in 1931). Interestingly, it is the longest continuous line of cutlery in America!
Typically, the Primble brand of knives were made for Belknap by Boker, Camilus, Case, Schrade and Utica. *
I do find it surprising that a company whose motto and general business philosophy was Primblegoods of honor has vanished. I think that most US-born adults over the age of 40 recognize that today's America is getting further and further away from its root principles and value system. Sure nothing stays the same countries, societies and cultures change. Human history absolutely demonstrates this. Still, human history also clearly demonstrates that greatness is most often the result of doing the right thing. I think that Belknapas a company did achieve a level of greatness.
