On today’s episode, Marc Bean joins host Travis Ishida to talk about Cool Bean Knives, an upcoming DIY Elk hunt in Arizona, and much more!
Marc Bean is a bladesmith with his forge in Queen Creek, Arizona, is a newer hunter, is part of the precision rifle community, and is an all-around great guy. Marc loves being creative and doing things that others see as difficult or impossible. Starting as a hobby, his custom knife making quickly turned into making them for others and prompted the start of Cool Bean Knives. For his kids, he went on to compete on Forged in Fire, Season 7 Episode 24 “The German Dussage”, and was the runner up in the final round. As part of the 2023 NRL Hunter season, he is co-hosting the popular Ghost Hunter match with Josh Reeves the weekend of January 13-15, 2023.
NRL HUNTER Presented by SIG SAUER, is a series of competitions for hunters by hunters. It brings ethical hunters together in an innovative, competitive format for new and seasoned hunters to learn about their skills, gear, overall capabilities, and about local hunting terrains.
