Benjamin Williams is a Blacksmith who operates B.W. Williams Cutlery and Rockmaple Forge in South Burlington, Vermont. He has a 4 year degree from UVM in studio art and a Masters in Art from the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction.
He has been a blacksmith for around a decade and his goal as an artist and as a craftsman is to make beautiful pieces of work that can function for generations. A good knife makes a functional difference in the kitchen, and Benjamin's knives are made with both that purpose and unique beauty in mind.
The work I make is primarily kitchen cutlery, Specifically knives. I make exceptionally light and strong pieces with attractiveness, uniqueness and excellent performance in mind.
I use both modern stainless cutlery steels and traditional carbon steels as well as producing my own in house Damascus steels. The steels I use have been chosen for their performance and meeting specific criteria necessary for a long lasting knife.
