A Blade with Purpose: CRKT's Forged By War® Program and Its Impact on Veteran Charities
At CRKT, supporting veterans is not just a mission; it’s at the core of our business. Through our Forged By War® program, we honor the sacrifices of those who have served by giving back to the communities they’ve touched.
Since its inception in 2016, we are proud to announce that we have donated nearly $500,000 to various charities within the Forged By War® program. This program not only helps veterans but also empowers them by turning their unique insights and experiences earned on the battlefield into innovative, hardworking knife designs. Each knife tells a story, merging functionality with the values of resilience and service.
By investing in the well-being of our veterans, we aim to make a meaningful impact, ensuring that those who have given so much receive the support they deserve. Join us in our commitment to honor and uplift our heroes through every blade created in the Forged By War program.
