Jason Grigg - Founder, Veteran, Bladesmith

Jason Grigg

We merge heritage with craftsmanship in every blade we forge. My journey started in northern Minnesota, shaped by the essence of the Boundary Waters, the Minnesota Iron Range, and Lake Superior in my childhood.

As a Marine Corps veteran, I set out on a mission to honor quality, tradition, and a deep appreciation for exceptional knives. This passion led to the creation of Duluth Knife Company, a tribute to the resilient spirit of Minnesota.

We specialize in handcrafting fixed-blade and folding knives, using steel sourced from iron ore in the legendary Minnesota Iron Range and reclaimed wood from Lake Superior. Our commitment goes beyond creating knives; it’s about preserving history and paying homage to the land that inspires us.

We’re proud to make knives that meet top-quality standards and hold echoes of Minnesota’s landscapes. Own more than just a knife—embrace a story, a piece of history, a symbol of craftsmanship, and a tribute to Minnesota’s enduring spirit by joining us.
