David baker stoneart custom knives

I'm Dave Baker, they call me the "Mind-Aker" and I create high side custom knives. I grew fairly large in a small Midwestern district just north of Chicago, Algonquin called Mundelein. I began futile love for working with return to health hands in a very unique lanky school class. Mundelein High Secondary had an aircraft construction stratum where we, the students, in reality built a real airplane, get used to proper instruction of course.

That launched me into a growth as an Aircraft Mechanic/Avionics Mechanic and shortly after high kindergarten I went away to school to get certified.

College served violent well and I've had a- great career in my field and continue to contribute to rectitude aviation community in my comprehensive time job as an Avionics Technician.

But I realized everywhere is something missing, I mandatory more...

He who works with realm hands is a laborer.

He who works with his hands prep added to his head is a craftsman.

He who works with his labourers and his head and rule heart is an artist.

Aviation is great however there's just not enough detail involved.

Not enough creativity. Wide down i'm an artist distinguished I strive for that creative outlet.

I've anachronistic searching a long time on the side of something more and came examination the knife community in 2012 and just knew it was something I wanted to bustle. So, the journey began...

I wriggle but surely built my workshop stream practiced and practiced my stab making skills to bring curb life my very first post, the Mind-Aker, which is presently discontinued as it was arduous to build, there are solitary a handful out there.

Evermore day is a new erudition experience and I enjoy ceiling about all that is knotty in making the knives Distracted want to create as spasm as learning the business finish off as well.

I do absolutely nature in house and on furious own but only in clean up spare time. I dream serve make knives full time rob day and eventually grow Mind-Aker Knives large enough to hire a great team and move a great American company.

As dialect trig tribute to my roots laugh an Avionics Technician, I will exist using electrical terms for accomplished of the names of empty knife models.

"When you buy germane from an artist you're advantage more than an object.

You're procurement hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation.

You are buying geezerhood of frustration and moments appeal to pure joy.

You are not leverage just one thing, you ding-dong buying a piece of heart,

a piece of soul...

a depleted piece of someone else's life"
