Warriors Way, a non-profit recreational therapy through a blade-making program here in Allen County, is bringing in some heavyweights of the bladesmith world for a grudge match. The public is invited to come out and meet the stars, watch them forge, and bid on their work. The money raised will go to the Warriors Way mission.

"We'll be forging and making hammers, knives, different blacksmithing items for the event live auction on Sunday the 12th. It's one of our biggest fundraiser for the year. So that way we can offer all of our classes to the veterans, first responders, and youth for absolutely no cost to them at all," said Jeffrey Dauterman, chief marketing officer.
