Remeshok Chetki - Delrin Beavertail Edition

Remeshok Chetki - Delrin Beavertail Edition

The Remeshok chetki are Aroundsquare's modern take on the jointed plate style chetki which are commonly found in Russia. The name Remeshok comes from the Russian word for "strap", reflecting the clean lines of the set.

Our new Beavertail Edition of the popular Remeshoks feature an elongated end bead, tapered to a stout thickness at the outer end, and rounded for a comfortable experience. The Beavertails are thus named not because they particularly look like beavertails.. but rather, based on the naming convention for longer, thinner canoe paddles, because they're super slappy (as you'll soon find out), and also, obviously, because Canada, eh. They have a sleek appearance, but it's not just aesthetics. These extended ends have a somewhat surprising effect of locking the ends into place between the fingers. They are narrow enough to slip through the fingers with ease, but when there is tension at an angle, the beads act like a lever. This effectively prevents them from slipping through the fingers when you don’t want them too, and also creates a springiness as the tension is absorbed and released during play. 

Since the Beavertails are longer than any end beads we’ve launched to date, we’ve found it wise to shorten up the length of the joining section between the ends. In our original Remeshok configuration, we used a 20+2 bead setup. For the paddle ended setup, we used 18+2. For the new Beavertail mods, we’ve trimmed it down to 16+2. The overall length in each case is similar.
