Titanium Mílos Begleri
Titanium Mílos Begleri
With all of our other bead options, it's hard to imagine anything minimalist carving out a new space for itself between our Sigma begleri, our Hydras, our many spherical Boss beads, and the rest of our range. But the Mílos have done just that, offering a distinctive look and feel that works in a variety of setups. These apple-shaped beads are a traditional shape, and were originally modelled after our jade bodhis. In terms of weight and feel, the Mílos have a lot in common with our similarly sized spherical beads, but to the tactile and auditory connoisseurs out there, the differences will be immediately clear.
As with the Mílos MKUltras, we are offering the Mílos begleri in three different setups, each optimized to the bead sizes. All three are precision machined from grade five titanium, and feature a smooth polish and a 3mm bore.
Details:
- 10mm Three Stack (6 x 10mm Mílos) , weight: ~14.2g
- 12mm Two Stack (4 x 12mm Mílos), weight: ~15.5g
- Mixed Three Stack (2x each of the 10, 12, and 14mm Mílos), weight: ~24.5g
Note: The Mílos have a 3mm bore, and are designed to run on thinner cords like our 2mm kevlar cord or standard 275 paracord. This is different from most of our other begleri, which have either a 3.5mm or 4mm bore. It is fairly easy to work a cleanly cut and singed piece of soft 550 paracord into the Mílos, but thicker 550 will be a challenge to insert (and if this is your preference, we would recommend choosing another model).
