That is super rad. Love the covers and the wear on both the blades and covers.
And also, in case I haven’t said so before, you photography skills make ALL your knives desirable to the eye.

Found this in a bunch of knives gifted to me. Being from around Maysville, Ky(and my wife was from there),im very curious about it. Still doing my research on it now. If anyone knows, feel free to shoot me a PM about it. Im just starting starting my tradional knife journey really.

I’m not going to be a whole bunch of help, but your Primble sure looks a lot like my Old Cutler! Lance

I rarely carry a fixed blade, but the size of this Northwoods makes it easy.

The Maysville knives were not a part of the old Belknap Hardware Company, which contracted the John Primble knives. The following is from the owner of the name. :

Since Blue Grass Cutlery has acquired John Primble knives from the bankruptcy court in 1985, we have produced John Primble knives under:

John Primble, Louisville, Ky,
John Primble knives, Maysville, Ky.,
and John Primble knives, Manchester, Ohio.

We are presently introducing a line of John Primble knives, known as the American Legend Series. Some of this series will be made here in Manchester, Ohio, and also as John Primble over the years before we have acquired it, John Primbles were made overseas for a while and Germany was one of the countries of which made some of the John Primbles. Some of the legend series will be made in the Orient, however, we made all new tooling and they are of the highest quality at a price that anyone can afford.

However, part of that series will be made here in Manchester, Ohio.

As most people do shop for price, an awful lot of the American companies are really being hit hard with the pressure of the low cost of wages in the Orient. We at the present time are expanding our ability and resources to make the knives here in the USA, however, as with anything that this is done, the price of the end product will be higher, however, once you see it , the product will justify the difference.

Hope this information is of some value to you.

Thanks for your interest in John Primble knives and Blue Grass Cutlery.

Rob, do you know the date that was written?
The Bluegrass Cutlery webpage is somewhat lacking with information about the company.

Carried this #38 with me today to the annual Highland County Maple Festival. This was the first time in years we went in decent weather, but of course, nice weather means more people——too many people! I’m now questioning myself whether I’ll go back next year, but I’m sure Mrs. Crappie will talk me into it.

Took the back way home from my daughter's house. Got roped into putting together a new trampoline for the granddaughters. Saw a couple of cool things along the way that I hadn't seen in quite a while. Had some pretty nice knives in my pockets.
