A bladesmith is using his craft to make a difference. He started creating swords for family members, and as word spread, he began making more for other kids. The swords are made with great care, requiring a significant amount of time to complete.

The bladesmith takes donations for his work, which are then used to fund a specific cause. At the end of the school year, the collected donations are given to a school district. Further details about this effort are available, including the thoughts of the person involved and an expert's perspective on the value of turning a hobby into a way to serve others.
