About Warriors Way
Our Mission
Warriors Way is a nonprofit recreational therapy organizationthat provides free services in the form of knife making Classes to Veterans, First Responders and Youth. We also have Donation based classes for those that do not qualify for free classes
Our Programs
Warriors Way offers Knife making Classes as our form of recreational therapy, Forging a knife is therapeutic because it offers meditative and hands on experience. The repetitive process of heating, shaping, and refining the metal allows for deep focus, helping to clear the mind of distractions. The rhythmic hammering and the physicality of working with the steel is calming and grounding, promoting a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction as you shape a functional knife from raw metal. It’s a creative outlet that fosters a sense of connection to tradition and craftsmanship, providing a break from the fast-paced, digital world. The tangible result of a well-made knife further reinforces the therapeutic value of this craft.
Volunteer Opportunities
