For this year’s Halloween episode, we put together a picks episode about what you’d use to battle a monster (or monsters!) from the movie of your choice. As usual, we each went in a little different direction with our picks but we have a great time doing so. We’ll share photos or links to our picks in the Mark of the Maker Facebook Group.

We sit down with Isaac Roesler to learn more about his adventure in starting a knife and EDC shop in Springfield, Missouri.  Springfield EDC has been around for a few years now and Isaac shares some insight into what it took to get this business rolling and what it’s like trying to launch a brick & mortar knife shop today.

We managed to get the whole crew back together for a picks episode, each finding three knives with “wildcard” as the only rule. Some of us made predictable picks, but some took the wildcard assignment seriously and colored far outside their usual lines. Super fun one and some gems we found, so watch our FB group or have your search engine warmed up!

Mark and Sean recap their participation in the Giant Mouse Grand Opening and 10 Year Jubilee.  We talk about the event and share some clips from discussions with some friends at the event.  It was a great time, the folks at GMK know how to host a fine party.  Big thanks to the GMK team for providing us a space at the Jubilee and for the hospitality!
