Mission
Baltic Blades is not about making the best fit and finish knives that I can make.
It all about being proud of your work that gives you meaning, and meaning is everything.

Why?
I grew up in a small village, I've seen what meaningless dead end jobs, or loss of jobs does to the community and it's people, increasing poverty rates, substance abuse and increasing suicide rates. All this because the lack of meaning.
Everybody knew, Lithuania is famous for laser export, internet speed, alcohol consumtion and suicide rates.
On the other side, I've seen people trying to fill their meaning void with endless buying sprees of low quality products that have no other meaning then just providing an instant dopamine hit.

What do we do?
We give people meaning. It's that simple.
First, make knives that are meant for work, that you can rely on, that are made from Lithuania, Europe or USA sourced highest quality materials. That if needed can and should be used to protect what is precious to us, our freedom, especialy in these uncertain times.
Second, grow it and create job openings, that not only pay a digifying wage, but also provide the opportunity to learn, grown and work on things that make us proud and gives us meaning.
Supporting the local community, collaborating with other small local businesses. This not only makes the life more meaningful but also our community and country stronger.
Your quest is to seek meaning, to own things that you will cherish, that will serve your purpose, that will enable you to do whatever it takes to reach the goal!
