Primus Trek Cutlery Set

Primus is a legendary Swedish outdoor brand founded in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist and Johan Victor Svenson. The brand became world-famous for creating the first soot-free pressurized kerosene stove, which was used by explorers like Roald Amundsen and Sir Edmund Hillary. For over a century, Primus has been a staple in the mountaineering and camping community.

While the brand maintains its historical identity and design roots in Stockholm, Sweden, manufacturing of smaller accessories like the Trek Cutlery Set typically takes place in China to ensure global availability and competitive pricing. In 2023, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when Fenix Outdoor sold Primus to the Swiss-based Katadyn Group. Moving into 2026 and beyond, Primus is fully integrated into Katadyn's portfolio, specializing in outdoor cooking and nutrition solutions.
