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!
