Each year, Women With Knives proudly recognizes one exceptional woman whose grit, heart, and hustle shine in a community full of fierce throwers. This year, we are thrilled to announce that the 2025 WWK BadAss of the Year is none other than Crissy Belk — a.k.a. Steel Serapia.

Crissy is a true embodiment of strength and grace. Whether she’s lifting others while carrying her own load, leading with love, or showing up with unstoppable energy, she consistently inspires those around her. Her resilience and spirit leave a lasting impact both on and off the range.

We also want to honor the extraordinary women nominated this year—each of whom brings something powerful and irreplaceable to WWK:
 

• Amy Elliott

• Anne Crum

• Becky Heitmann

• Kat Sayer Maschewske

• Goldi McClain

• Kandy Jones

• Maria Mulder

• Miriam Hare

• Pam Kenitzer

• Jamie Wiersma 
   

To every badass woman in our WWK family—thank you. You are the fire behind our mission, the strength in our throws, and the heart of this sisterhood. Keep showing up, throwing down, and lifting each other up. We see you, and we celebrate you.
