William Porto - Brazil

A blacksmith for over a decade, William Porto of Brazil today crafts world-class culinary knives from house-made damascus patterns, often embellished with precious metals, exotic woods, and other refinements that set his exquisite creations apart. His first chef’s knife, made at the request of a customer in 2017, won William the Best Damascus Knife award from the local bladesmith’s association, and a just six months later, his second won Best Kitchen Knife. Build to use and designed to make an impression, we’re honored to bring you William’s art here at Eatingtools.
