We’ve started calling these “contact coins” because they lend themselves to a style of manipulation that resembles contact juggling. On the surface, the Deadeyes look like just a refined worry stone made from metal, and they certainly serve well for that. They are precisely crafted and beautifully finished, with an ergonomic indent on either side that is perfect for thumbs of any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut as you’d expect from AO2, there’s more to it than that. The concave shape and resulting ridge around the perimeter make the Deadeyes perfect for contact-style manipulation. With practice, they coins can be made to roll fluidly between the fingers, or back and forth over the thumbs, and isolations can be performed where the coins appear to be floating around the fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deadeyes are available in two sizes, and assorted metals. The large size is 37mm in diameters, and the small one is 30mm in diameter. They both play well and feel great in the hand, but the large feels much more substantial and is more stable when performing contact-style manipulation, while the small is much closer to the half-dollar size preferred by many magicians. Titanium models are available in mirror polished or sandblasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1563911348968_487\"\u003eAll \u003cspan\u003eDeadeyes are packaged in a box, and ship with Aroundsquare stickers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" class=\"\"\u003eFor more information, visit our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"deadeye product page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ao2worldwide.com\/pages\/deadeye\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDeadeye product page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aLxCF7qwXq8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Polished","offer_id":19655482933305,"sku":"DE-WER-TI-P","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blasted","offer_id":19655482966073,"sku":"DE-WER-TI-S","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_0027.jpg?v=1702678210"},{"product_id":"begleri-rig","title":"Begleri Rig (components)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAO2 Begleri Rig\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople often comment that our begleri are verging on jewelry in their appearance, and certainly many of us treat them as prized accessories.

The aluminum and stainless models feature a light wordmark on the boss bead. The brass and copper models may have faint traces of the original wordmark, but they have been lightly tumbled in order to achieve a matching finish on all 20 beads, and this process has essentially erased the logo etching on these softer metals. \u003ca title=\"MKUltra Mala Komboloi Aroundsquare\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBt_480nVPA\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e to see the Ultras in action on our Instagram feed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19x 11.8mm Micro Boss beads + 1x 15mm lil Boss\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper, lightly tumbled, ~144g per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass, lightly tumbled, ~134g per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless, lightly tumbled, and light wordmark, ~113g per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum (7075), clear anodizing, and light wordmark, ~45g per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eStrung on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll beads drilled with 3.5mm bore\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Copper","offer_id":32286237098018,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-118-CU","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Brass","offer_id":32286238736418,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-118-BR","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless","offer_id":32286239195170,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-118-SS","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Aluminum","offer_id":32286242209826,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-118-AL","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/products\/IMG_4950.jpg?v=1598565823"},{"product_id":"mkultras-10mm-edition","title":"MKUltras - 10mm Beads Standard Metal Editions","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMKUltras - 10mm Beads Standard Metal Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MKUltras are a hybrid design, combining elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads.

The sets are designed to be worn with a double loop around the wrist, but note that the beads themselves will probably fully cover the cord, meaning that exposed cord will complete the wrap (see photo for reference). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBt_480nVPA\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClick here\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to see the Ultras in action on our Instagram feed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e33x 10mm spherical beads + 1x 15mm Lil' Boss + 2x 8mm beads (bead dimensions may vary slightly due to polishing and chamfering)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCopper, lightly tumbled ~146g per set\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrass, lightly tumbled ~130g per set\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStainless steel, lightly tumbled ~129g per set\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrung on AO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll beads drilled with 3.5mm bore\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCheck out our new Aluminum 10mm sets in the September 2025 drop video!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PHLdOMuyvlI?si=NAhsxTQBYi_YdCtG\u0026amp;start=19\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Short Form \/ Copper","offer_id":50280290550034,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-CU","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Brass","offer_id":50280290582802,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-BR","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Stainless Steel","offer_id":50280290615570,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-SS","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Short Form \/ Aluminum Natty","offer_id":51627016782098,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-AL","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Aluminum Black","offer_id":51627016814866,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-AL-BLK","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Aluminum Red","offer_id":51627016847634,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-AL-RED","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long Form \/ Brass","offer_id":32982878552098,"sku":"UL-LNG-BOS-10-BR","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long Form \/ Stainless Steel","offer_id":32982878584866,"sku":"UL-LNG-BOS-10-SS","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/ultra_aluminum_group.png?v=1758838296"},{"product_id":"accent-packs-for-mkultras","title":"Accent Packs for MKUltras (components)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccent Packs for MKUltras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitanium Large Mangas with 10mm Titanium Bead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe titanium Large Mangas, true to their name, are not to be trifled with.

They adjust by means of a simple friction fit through the larger \"Micro Boss\" bead closure. Although the design is exceedingly simple, we're fairly confident you won't find anything quite like them around. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Micro Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed. Excess cordage can be knotted loosely around the Micro Boss bead when they are worn on the wrist, or left dangling. This modifiable arrangement allows them to be used very quietly, for simple bead counting used in breath work and meditation, to \"raindrop\" methods marked by the satisfying, rhythmic clacking of the beads, as well as much more physical methods of manipulation which resemble short game begleri play. While they aren't intended as a highly technical skill toy, there are still a solid range of moves you can link together, and lots of ways of working with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MKUltras 10mm Edition consists of 21x 10mm beads, with a 11.8mm Micro Boss bead to close\/ adjust the loop.

The sets are designed to be worn with a double loop around the wrist, but note that the beads themselves will probably fully cover the cord, meaning that exposed cord will complete the wrap (see photo for reference). \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBt_480nVPA\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" title=\"MKUltra Mala Komboloi Aroundsquare\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e to see the Ultras in action on our Instagram feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33x 10mm spherical beads + 1x 15mm Lil' Boss w\/word + 2x 8mm beads (bead dimensions may vary slightly due to polishing and chamfering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 5 Titanium, polished ~74g per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrung on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll beads drilled with 3.5mm bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Short Form \/ Natty (polished)","offer_id":33070257700898,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-TI-P","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Short Form \/ Natty (blasted)","offer_id":33070257733666,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-TI-S","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Shinobi (black PVD)","offer_id":33070257766434,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-TI-BLK","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Short Form \/ Sunset (multicolour PVD)","offer_id":33070257799202,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-TI-SUN","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Business Class (gold PVD)","offer_id":33070257831970,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-TI-GLD","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Blue (PVD)","offer_id":33070257864738,"sku":"UL-SHT-BOS-10-TI-BLU","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long Form \/ Natty (polished)","offer_id":50280272888082,"sku":"UL-LNG-BOS-10-TI-P","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_10692.jpg?v=1707520083"},{"product_id":"mkultras-9mm-mini-sigma-edition","title":"MKUltras - Titanium Mini Sigma Editions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMKUltras - Titanium Sigma Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MKUltras are a hybrid design, combining elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads.

These pants feature a comfortable roomy fit, without going overboard, making them a highly versatile garment that is at home anywhere from the gym, to the office, classroom, or garage. A big part of the design effort with these was to create a garment that would remove friction at the transition points between activities. Whether it's getting up to go for a jog, or coming home after a day of work, this is a garment that can transition with you. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Everyman Slack Pants are completely custom made based on our own original design. They are actually the culmination of years of cut and sew experimentation, refining the initial design to create something that would allow the unrestricted movement required for physical pursuits from running to bouldering, while still being able to pair with a tie and sport coat when need be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're made from a breathable mid-weight 100% cotton, and feature a roomy fit, top to bottom, plus a bunch of other small features that we hope will make them a new favourite.

Also, these loops are a bit bigger than normal belt loops, meaning you don't need to worry about your beefy wide belt fitting in them. Small details, and they may be irrelevant to your case, but if you know, you know. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix generous pockets\u003c\/strong\u003e: We've all got cargo, but we don't all want extra pockets halfway down the leg jangling around. While we haven't gone ridiculous on pocket size, we've discretely up-sized them from average pants, and we've added an extra coin pocket for ya. There's no special closures on the pockets, but they are deep enough and cut well enough to help prevent spillage when you're in and out of your vehicle and so on throughout the day. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHidden diamond gusset\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is a little feature that's not uncommon in sportswear where range of motion is necessary, but you rarely see it in daily use pants.

This is a good mid-weight.. thick enough to feel substantial and to take abuse, but noticeably lighter than most denim pants. The construction is reinforced with bar tacks at all stress points. They are stiff out of the bag but soften right up after a wash or two.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlenty of slack\u003c\/strong\u003e: The fit of these is roomy all the way to the bottom cuff, but not offensively so.

We also created an option for inseam lengths of 32\" and 34\". Note that due to feedback on shrinkage with the first production, we've kept roughly the same length as previous production (a true 33) on the 32\" inseam, in order to accommodate shrinkage and cuffing. The 34\" inseam is actually closer to a 35 on a fresh pair, but will likely shrink down a bit to the labelled 34 size with washing and drying.

a hybrid design, combining elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads. The MKUltra name gives a nod to this lineage, as well as their expedience as tools to help us focus our minds and still our thoughts. They can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from quiet bead counting, through to raucous flipping. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique setup of the MKUltras allows them to be worn like mala beads, or carried discretely in the pocket. They adjust by means of a simple friction fit through the larger \"Micro Boss\" bead closure. Although the design is exceedingly simple, we're fairly confident you won't find anything quite like them around. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Micro Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed. Excess cordage can be knotted loosely around the Boss bead when they are worn on the wrist, or left dangling. This modifiable arrangement allows them to be used very quietly, for simple bead counting used in breath work and meditation, to \"raindrop\" methods marked by the satisfying, rhythmic clacking of the beads, as well as much more physical methods of manipulation which resemble short game begleri play. While they aren't intended as a highly technical skill toy, there are still a solid range of moves you can link together, and lots of ways of working with them.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 2025 Nano Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOur 2025 Nano beads are exceptionally comfortable in the hand, keeping all the qualities that have made them a beloved classic. Compared to the original Nanos, the 2025 update features slightly rounded outer edges at the top and bottom of the beads (see zoomed in comparison photo). This rounding gives them a gentler feel during bead counting, raindrops, and when worn on the wrist. As one of our smallest beads, the heavier metals have less heft compared to larger beads, making them highly slingable while providing excellent control and satisfying tactile feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE (patina and micro-abrasions, especially on copper edition):\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike our previous Nanos, the 2025 copper Nanos have not been passivated, meaning they begin to develop a patina immediately when exposed to air.

While we take every precaution to preserve the polished finish of this soft metal, small micro-abrasions are normal and should be expected.

The Long Editions have been designed primarily for the \"raindrop\" style of play. The extra beads provide a satisfying sound and feel as they clack together. Because of the length of the sets, they are cumbersome for flipping around and doing technical tricks, but they still allow for some basic manipulation. The sets are designed to be worn with a double loop around the wrist, but note that the beads themselves will probably fully cover the cord, meaning that exposed cord will complete the wrap (see photo for reference). \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBt_480nVPA\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" title=\"MKUltra Mala Komboloi Aroundsquare\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto see the Ultras in action on our Instagram feed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33(+2)x 7.7mm Nano Standard beads + 1x 15mm Lil Boss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials and weights\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper: ~105g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass: ~99g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel: ~93g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrung \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eon AO2's new custom high density 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll beads drilled with 3.5mm bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCheck out our these Ultras in our August 2025 drop video!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tgdo2HP3mjg?si=5vRoqlyrPKi9V_f-\u0026amp;start=739\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Short Form \/ Copper","offer_id":39382504079394,"sku":"UL-SHT-NAN-V2-CU","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Short Form \/ Brass","offer_id":39382504112162,"sku":"UL-SHT-NAN-V2-BR","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short Form \/ Stainless Steel","offer_id":39382504144930,"sku":"UL-SHT-NAN-V2-SS","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Long Form \/ Copper","offer_id":50308890329362,"sku":"UL-LNG-NAN-V2-CU","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Long Form \/ Brass","offer_id":50308890362130,"sku":"UL-LNG-NAN-V2-BR","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long Form \/ Stainless Steel","offer_id":50308890394898,"sku":"UL-LNG-NAN-V2-SS","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/21.png?v=1756416727"},{"product_id":"normal-rings","title":"Normal Rings","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNormal Rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAroundsquare's Normal Rings are simple, but striking little bands. In classic AO2 style, we have taken a minimalist approach to the design of these rings, but have found a way to make them truly distinctive at the same time. We've dubbed them the Normals, but in reality, they are quite far from any concept of average. This is a completely custom ring design, which will immediately stand out from almost any other band in a side by side. What differentiates the Normals lies in the details. \u003cspan\u003eDespite their clean design, they make their presence known with a substantial look and feel. They feature a subtle upsizing in both the thickness and the width of the bands, giving them a surprising heft and a sense that you're wearing a good solid piece of metal. At the same time, the careful attention to detail in the curvatures and rounding make them very comfortable for daily wear. They're good and wide, at around 7.5mm width, and reach a 3mm max thickness at the midpoint of the band. They've got a convex interior, aka \"comfort fit\", and the curves on interior and exterior are subtle enough to leave a nice chunky side profile, rounded smooth to ensure no hot spots. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith that basic description, let's be clear, these rings hold their own just as wearable hardware. But.. if you're into putting them through their paces, they're up to that as well. Our initial interest in the design of a ring came from inspiration in the form of ring manipulation. After months of research, trial, and error, we finally locked in on the Normal design--a comfortable and substantial band with ergonomic curvatures that's comfortable to simply wear, and a joy to manipulate. Every aspect of the design has been thoughtfully considered from the standpoint of wearability, aesthetics, and the facilitation of all types of manipulation, from the classic gryphon roll, through to sleight of hand and more advanced tricks. Whether you want to mess around with manipulations or not, the Normals have got you covered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Available in US sizes 4 to 13..

The cord is a 12-strand weave, which is round (actually hexagonal) in shape, and slightly wider than most 550 paracord, but also softer and more compactable, making it fairly easy to use with most begleri sets. Although the weave is coarser looking than 550 paracord, the feel is somewhat softer, and it tends to move nicely through the fingers without binding. The construction also helps it to retain its shape and makes it less prone to flattening than standard paracord. Note that Kevlar does not melt easily, and a lighter will not melt or flatten the cord, which means that the cord needs to be knotted and tasseled. When cutting the cord, it is recommended that a small piece of clear tape be used to compress the cord and keep it from fraying, which will make it vastly easier to insert into the bore or your begleri. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis cord is available in natty\/ yellow and black. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-strand round\/ hexagonal woven kevlar cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.3g\/m spec weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e~4mm diameter (comparable to 550 paracord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 2m, 5m, and 10m hanks \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimized for use with the following products: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny begleri with a 3.5mm or 4mm bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2mm\/ 12-strand\/ 3.4g Cord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAroundsquare's new 2mm high density kevlar cord is a full custom product, manufactured to our individual specifications, and unlike anything else you'll find on the market. The cord is a round-woven 12-strand construction, with a smooth feel and clean appearance. The cord is woven at high density, giving it less compressibility and more strength than average cord, with a spec weight of around 3.4g\/m. This distinguishes it from most other commercially available kevlar, and the difference is clear. It is smoother and finer in both appearance and feel, it is extraordinarily strong, and is extremely durable. Importantly, as it ages, it doesn't swell in the same manner as coarser cords, and as it wears, it gets softer without a significant impact on performance.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cord designed as an alternative to 275 paracord, or the 2mm accessory cord from Sterling Ropes that we use on many of our products, and was developed with our MKUltras front of mind. For the two strand compression into the lock bead, it's darn near perfect. It fits the standard 3.5mm bore of our Micro Boss and Lil' Boss beads exactly as intended. It is a breeze to install (with just a tiny bit of tape), and it holds the boss bead snug enough to keep it in place well, while still being easy to adjust. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKevlar cord, especially at high density, is relatively stiff when it's new, but it softens up considerably with use. In the first few days, the surface will show some lightening and aging, but it stabilizes quickly with minimal further changes. As our Kevlar cord ages, it takes on a look and feel of soft cotton, but while cotton tends to fray and degrade pretty quickly, this is not the case with Kevlar. The feel is actually quite velvety and soft. It remains soft to the touch, and supple to manipulate. As the cord ages, it retains the same properties, and based on our tests thus far (we're a couple months in on this cord), it should have very good longevity. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecolour: black, red, yellow, blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-strand round woven kevlar cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.4g\/m spec weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e~2mm diameter (comparable to 275 paracord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 5m and 10m hanks \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimized for use with the following products: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll metal MKUltras (not recommended for wooden or jade bodhi Ultras)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny begleri with a 3mm or 3.5mm bore (not recommended for 4mm bore) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini Monkey Knuckles - Delrin Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.7mm\/ 2.1g Cord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1.7mm cord is designed for the Pozvonok chetki.

manufactured to our individual specifications, and unlike anything else you'll find on the market. In fact, it is extremely difficult to find real silk cord for purchase anywhere period. Most of what is listed online as silk cord is actually synthetic fibres, and it was the lack of real silk cord that compelled us to seek out a manufacturer who could make some for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKernmantle (sheath and core) Silk Cords\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur original silk cords (those listed with a gram weight) are 100% pure silk, with a round-woven sheath, and inner core strands, much like conventional paracord\u003cspan\u003e. The cord is surprisingly robust (our supplier actually provides silk for industrial applications as well, due to its awesome properties). Although it can fray, it resists wear very well, and tends to get smoother and softer with use. The cord is slightly dynamic, meaning it has a small amount of stretch to it. Although it looks quite like standard paracord, it has a softer feel to it, especially after some use. It holds its shape well and doesn't tend to flatten out or stiffen over time. Note that (like Kevlar) the ends can't be singed flat; however, the tassels on the silk cord are extremely soft and definitely score as a feature not a bug. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3mm Integrally Woven Silk Cord:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 3mm integrally woven silk cord is single-braid, meaning that there is no outer sheath and inner strands. This is the construction used in our kevlar cords, whereas our additional range of silk cords are kernmantle construction (outer sheath and inner core strands) like conventional paracord. Perfomance-wise, the integral cord feels firmer than our existing silk cords, but is still plenty supple. In that respect, it is comparable to broken-in 2mm kevlar cord. It has a little bit of stretch to it, but less than our other silk cords. Broken in, it become extremely supple, but retains the firm feel, and importantly, it doesn't flatten out the way sheathed cords can.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails and recommended uses: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrally Woven (roughly 3mm thick)\u003c\/strong\u003e: best suited for begleri with a 3.5mm bore, and available in blue, green, peacock, black, white, and crimson red; comparable to broken-in 2mm kevlar cord; technically usable for MKUltras but requires considerable patience and effort to string two strands through the Boss bead, and thinner bore beads may hang on the cord during raindrops\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7g (roughly 4mm thick)\u003c\/strong\u003e: best for begleri with a 4mm bore (can work with 3.5mm), and available in black (with blue core) or blue (with white core); slightly thicker\/ cushier than 550 paracord, and slightly coarser in weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4.7g (roughly 2.8 to 3.5mm thick)\u003c\/strong\u003e: suitable for begleri with a 3 to 4mm bore, and available in black (with blue core); most similar to 550 paracord, but softer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.8g (roughly 2.5mm thick)\u003c\/strong\u003e: suitable for any metal or Delrin MKUltras, or begleri with a 3 to 3.5mm bore; similar to 275 paracord, but much softer (not recommended for jade bodhi or wooden ultras, as they are more prone to snagging on the cord)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll options sold in 2m, 5m and 10m lengths \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Since the ends of the silk cord cannot be singed like paracord, they will fray quickly.

The Accent Packs are intended for those who are interested in customizing their Chetki, by either mixing materials and create their own personalized setups, or extending their Chekti to their preferred length. We also have unique ends available for the Remechok Chekti only as an Accent Pack. The larger \"paddle\" shaped end beads, are designed to put a little extra snap and clack into your chetki game. These guys extend the set out, and throw weight out to the edges to help them whip around and anchor in place. We're hoping that these extra pieces also encourage players to muck around and experiment with different setups and lengths, in order to find the one that works best for them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccent and Extension Packs\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccent Packs (2+2 beads)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Accent packs are intended for people who want to mix materials to create their own personalized setups.

The Commons design is our take on this classic shape, and the result is both fresh and familiar.

When manipulating the beads to perform tricks, they play fairly slow due to their weight, much like the original (11.8mm sphere) MKUltra sets.

The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed. Excess cordage can be knotted loosely around the Boss bead when they are worn on the wrist, or left dangling. This modifiable arrangement allows them to be used very quietly, for simple bead counting used in breath work and meditation, to \"raindrop\" methods marked by the satisfying, rhythmic clacking of the beads, as well as much more physical methods of manipulation which resemble short game begleri play. While they aren't intended as a highly technical skill toy, there are still a solid range of moves you can link together, and lots of ways of working with them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel","offer_id":40459038654498,"sku":"UL-SHT-COM-SS","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Brass","offer_id":40459056250914,"sku":"UL-SHT-COM-BR","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Copper","offer_id":40459056283682,"sku":"UL-SHT-COM-CU","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/products\/IMG_8561.jpg?v=1653609732"},{"product_id":"remeshok-chetki-acrylic-resin-stainless-steel-edition","title":"Remeshok Chetki - Acrylic\/Stainless Steel Editions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemeshok Chetki - Acrylic\/Stainless Steel Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Remeshok chetki are Aroundsquare's modern take on the jointed plate style chetki which are commonly found in Russia.

Also known as “Russian prison beads”, the origins of chetki trace back to a linear style rosary. As the story goes, looped rosaries were not allowed in Russian prisons, but the shorter linear style were permitted. \u003cspan\u003eWith idle time to pass, the flipping of chetki became common, and secular models designed with flipping in mind became popular, often sporting engraved \"tattoos\" matching those of their owners, or other images of significance.

They're 100% premium Inner Mongolian cashmere, and the design itself is fully bespoke.

They have \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehemmed cuffs and waist, that hold their shape and size well without ribbing or elastic due to the hemmed double layer. There is a tasteful \"Aroundsquare\" word mark on the right cuff in dark grey. The sweaters are available in single knit (similar or a touch heavier than other 100% cashmere sweaters out there), or double knit \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(which, good luck finding anything comparable, seriously).

Otherwise known as Chinese archer's rings, the banzhi in it's modern form is usually a thickened, cylindrically shaped ring, designed to be worn on the thumb. The history of the banzhi dates back several thousand years, when wide thumb rings were commonly used in archery, to protect the thumb from the heavy tension of the bow string. In the 1800s, as archery became less relevant as a military skill, more stylized and ornamental banzhi became a popular. These banzhi were typically made from jade, horn, or other semi-precious materials. As we do, Aroundsquare's banzhi are an attempt to honour and extend this tradition into the present, with a clean, minimalist take on the traditional designs, and using high quality modern materials. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe banzhi are designed to be worn and appreciated for their inherent characteristics, and are not designed for manipulation.

The substantial size and rounded shape of the rings makes them satisfying in the hand and for those of you who are accustomed to always carrying something for flipping around and doing tricks, you may find it's often enough to have something like this on hand. They'll be available at launch in stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, and both mint and fuchsia acrylic, and come in four sizes (interior diameter 19.5mm, 20.5mm, 21.5, 22.5, and 23.5).

Over time, the manipulation of perekidnye (flipping) chetki (перекидные четки) has developed into an art in its own right, and the secular embodiments of the beads designed purely for flipping have begun to proliferate. \u003c\/span\u003eModern perekidnye chetki are specifically designed for manipulation, much like a balisong or a set of begleri, and with practice, a wide variety of tricks and combinations can be performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information, visit our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aroundsquare.com\/pages\/chetki\" target=\"_blank\"\u003echetki product page\u003c\/a\u003e, or check out the video below to see our chetki in action!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lfYU1xis1m4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Black Delrin","offer_id":44197864800530,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-BLK","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White Delrin","offer_id":44197864833298,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-WHT","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red Delrin","offer_id":44197864866066,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-RED","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Blue Delrin","offer_id":44197864898834,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-DBL","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light Blue Delrin","offer_id":44197864931602,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-LBL","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Delrin","offer_id":44197864964370,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-GRN","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Delrin","offer_id":44197864997138,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-YLW","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delrin Custom Colours (add note)","offer_id":44197865029906,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-CST","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black Delrin w\/ Brass Stripe","offer_id":44197865062674,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-BLK-BR-S","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White Delrin w\/ Brass Stripe","offer_id":44197865095442,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-WHT-BR-S","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black Delrin w\/ Brass Accents","offer_id":44197865128210,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-BLK-BR-A","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White Delrin w\/ Brass Accents","offer_id":44197865160978,"sku":"CH-REM-DL-WHT-BR-A","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/products\/IMG_9206_793e5cdf-74d4-4706-9892-bd24ba198919.jpg?v=1670610467"},{"product_id":"mkultras-zirc-mini-sigma-edition","title":"MKUltras - Exotic Metal Mini Sigma Editions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMKUltras - Exotic Metal Mini Sigma Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MKUltras are a hybrid design, combining elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads.

True to their name, Aroundsquare's Normal Vests are just plain old, straight cut, 100% wool, five button, mandarin collar goodness.

Our Wool Normals feature the same athletic cut and trim sizing as our cotton vests, but  with a clean pocket-free build that counter-intuitively makes the garment more versatile--as it can be dressed up or down depending on what you’re wearing it with. At launch, the vests will be available in a deep aqua colour, which is neutral enough to wear with almost anything. The material has slight give to it, which makes the sizing slightly more forgiving than the cotton version. The material is thick (think of a softer version of any army blanket), and the high mandarin collar provides nice warmth on the shoulders and the back of the neck. Note that these have the buttons on stage left (the opposite of our cotton vests). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark blue\/green grey (no pockets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreyish navy blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-dark heather grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: S, M, L, XL, XXL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 slash pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatch multi-pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing notes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are a fairly slim fit, and being 100% wool, they will shrink if washed\/ dried hot.

But the Mílos justified their existence from the first samples, and they're set to become a new favourite for many. 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. The Mílos are essentially short and cylindrical, but with heavily rounded external edges, and a 3mm bore that hugs the cord slightly more than our spherical beads. This makes gives them a very comfortable feel for bead counting, dramatically reducing the potential hot spot where the thumb grabs each bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ebony wood version of our popular MKUltras has turned out beautifully. The 14mm Mílos beads are the perfect size for this material, and work well with both the short and long form ultras setup. The 3mm bore on the beads provides a great experience during bead counting, and the crisp clack of the beads during raindrops is pleasant and fresh. The Ebony material is light enough to flip beautifully, regardless of your skill level, and the beads can be played in two packets, or from the 15mm titanium boss bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe Short Form Mílos MKUltras feature 17 of our 14mm apple shaped Mílos beads, and are designed to be worn on the wrist in a single loop.

Although the design is exceedingly simple, we're fairly confident you won't find anything quite like them around. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Micro Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed.

Otherwise known as Chinese archer's rings, the banzhi in it's modern form is usually a thickened, cylindrically shaped ring, designed to be worn on the thumb. The history of the banzhi dates back several thousand years, when wide thumb rings were commonly used in archery, to protect the thumb from the heavy tension of the bow string. In the 1800s, as archery became less relevant as a military skill, more stylized and ornamental banzhi became a popular. These banzhi were typically made from jade, horn, or other semi-precious materials. As we do, Aroundsquare's banzhi are an attempt to honour and extend this tradition into the present, with a clean, minimalist take on the traditional designs, and using high quality modern materials. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe banzhi are designed to be worn and appreciated for their inherent characteristics, and are not designed for manipulation. Some basic ring manipulation moves can be performed with them, but they are at their best when handled low key, and they actually work well for breathwork and mindfulness (see this month's drop preview video for details). The substantial size and rounded shape of the rings makes them satisfying in the hand and for those of you who are accustomed to always carrying something for flipping around and doing tricks, you may find it's often enough to have something like this on hand.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"19.5mm","offer_id":48085603909906,"sku":"RG-BAN-TI-BLK-LUZ-195","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20.5mm","offer_id":48085601091858,"sku":"RG-BAN-TI-BLK-LUZ-205","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"21.5mm","offer_id":48085601124626,"sku":"RG-BAN-TI-BLK-LUZ-215","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"22.5mm","offer_id":48085601157394,"sku":"RG-BAN-TI-BLK-LUZ-225","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"23.5mm","offer_id":48085601190162,"sku":"RG-BAN-TI-BLK-LUZ-235","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_1341.jpg?v=1708557894"},{"product_id":"mkultras-10mm-milos-titanium-editions","title":"MKUltras - 10mm Mílos Titanium Editions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMKUltras - 10mm Mílos Titanium Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all of our other bead options, it's hard to imagine anything minimalist carving out a new space for itself between our mini sigmas, our spherical beads, and the rest of our range. But the Mílos justified their existence from the first samples, and have become a new favourite for many. 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. The Mílos are essentially short and cylindrical, but with heavily rounded external edges, and a 3mm bore that hugs the cord slightly more than our spherical beads. This makes gives them a very comfortable feel for bead counting, dramatically reducing the potential hot spot where the thumb grabs each bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 10mm Mílos beads are the perfect size for this material, and work well with the short and long form setups.

They adjust by means of a simple friction fit through the larger \"Micro Boss\" bead closure. Although the design is exceedingly simple, we're fairly confident you won't find anything quite like them around. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Micro Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed.

This modifiable arrangement allows them to be used very quietly, for simple bead counting used in breath work and meditation, to \"raindrop\" methods marked by the satisfying, rhythmic clacking of the beads, as well as much more physical methods of manipulation which resemble short game begleri play.

The 15mm titanium lock bead provides good grip and counterweight to help keep the beads from flying out of the hand. While small beads can feel a bit small during bead counting, these larger beads are a treat to cycle through, and have a solid, substantial feel in the hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27+2 Commons + 1x 15mm Lil' Boss \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: ~ 43g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrung on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eUltem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUltem is the branded name for a high-performance polymer also known as polyetherimide, or PEI. It's solidly in the category of what we might call badass plastics. These are materials that demonstrate exceptional properties, which truly set them apart from conventional polymers. Ultem has actually been around since the 1980s, but has only recently become widely commercially avaiable, and has subsequently exploded into the EDC scene. You'll see it in everything from knife handles to flashlights and everything in between. Part of what makes Ultem special is that when it sets and solidifies, the polymers bond in a way that prevents re-melting, even under extreme heat. This gives the material excellent thermal properties. It's also UV, chemical, and flame resistant, and due to its hardness, it can be machined very precisely, and much thinner than other plastics. Strictly speaking, none of these properties are required for a set of beads, but as with titanium on kevlar, there's just something awesome in knowing that what you have in your hand is exceptional.. that you could, if you wanted, use it for aerospace applications. The material has a crisp and solid feel in the hand. The polished versions have a glossy texture, similar to acrylic, while the machined finished versions have a soft feel, almsot like sea glass. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo most collectors and EDC enthusiasts, the most distinctive feature of Ultem might be its appearance. It is truly something to behold. In its natural state, the material is clear or semi-transparent, with a deep golden yellow or amber colour. In fact, it looks and feels remarkably like an amber resin, and there is an interesting connection there that is worth elaborating. Amber is one of the traditionally prized materials used for komboloi and worry beads, throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. And while we often think of traditional materials as being those that are naturally occurring, this is not entirely the case with worry beads. Amber itself is often stabilized with synthetic resins, but beyond this, readers of bead history will also see frequent reference to exotic sounding materials like Faturan, Bakelite, Parkesine, and Catalin. These are all polymer plastics - prized by antique collectors, and still used today in modern production. This historical context helps to legitimize a higher end polymer like Ultem in our product range, and in some ways, it's kind of symbolic of our journey. One of this things Aroundsquare has done well as a brand over the years is to respect and build on the historical roots of the products we create, and extend them into the modern era. We always seek to recognize and honour these roots, while bringing out contemporary designs using the best available modern materials. And having said all of that, here's this month's Ultem lineup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information on the MKUltras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MKUltras are a hybrid design, combining elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads. The MKUltra name gives a nod to this lineage, as well as their expedience as tools to help us focus our minds and still our thoughts. They can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from quiet bead counting, through to raucous flipping. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique setup of the MKUltras allows them to be worn like mala beads, or carried discretely in the pocket. They adjust by means of a simple friction fit through the larger \"Micro Boss\" bead closure. Although the design is exceedingly simple, we're fairly confident you won't find anything quite like them around. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Micro Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed. Excess cordage can be knotted loosely around the Micro Boss bead when they are worn on the wrist, or left dangling. This modifiable arrangement allows them to be used very quietly, for simple bead counting used in breath work and meditation, to \"raindrop\" methods marked by the satisfying, rhythmic clacking of the beads, as well as much more physical methods of manipulation which resemble short game begleri play. While they aren't intended as a highly technical skill toy, there are still a solid range of moves you can link together, and lots of ways of working with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Short Form \/ Ultem - Polished","offer_id":48276637417746,"sku":"UL-SHT-COM-UT-P","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Short Form \/ Ultem - Machined","offer_id":48276637384978,"sku":"UL-SHT-COM-UT","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Long Form \/ Ultem - Polished","offer_id":50309097685266,"sku":"UL-LNG-COM-UT-P","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Long Form \/ Ultem - Machined","offer_id":50309097718034,"sku":"UL-LNG-COM-UT","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_1962.jpg?v=1710969092"},{"product_id":"yibanzhi-thumb-rings","title":"Yiban Rings","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYiban Rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince we first released our first ring design, the Normals, we had intended to complement it with a similarly chunky pipe cut model. The dome shape of the Normals is very comfortable, and it's great for daily wear and a lot of ring manipulations as well. After launching our banzhi thumb rings, with their straight cylindrical design, we became convinced of the advantages of that shape for certain additional styles of manipulation. We also, frankly, just really came to appreciate the simple geometry and bold statement made by those hefty chunks of metal. Eventually, we were compelled to follow through on our original intentions to do a pipe cut ring, and decided on a slimmed down version of the banzhis. The Yibans are just that--a chunky pipe cut ring, beautifully rounded for comfortable wear, and, if you so desire, manipulations. The Yibans take their name from the Chinese term for \"half\" - as they're half the width of our banzhis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are launching in\u003cspan\u003e four materials: stainless steel; brass; copper; and titanium.

The beads are quite translucent and catch the light beautifully, but as with their colour, there is some variation in opacity between individual beads. The ox horn beads, by comparison, are much more opaque, but vary dramatically in colour from very light off-white, to dark brown. You'll find that each individual bead really has its own character, with unique coloured patches, stripes and striations, or even fade patterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeing a natural material, the horn does require a bit of care to ensure its longevity.. avoid chemicals and even water to the extent possible.. if you need to clean them, wipe with water, pat dry, and rub in a little bit of oil to keep the material conditioned and prevent it from drying out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Animal Horn Mílos MKUltras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 14mm Mílos are our largest Animal Horn beads to date.

The natural material beads in this series are hand-shaped, rather than precision CNC machined like most of our products. We've chosen this production method purposefully, as it fits so well with the natural variations of these materials. The result is that each bead is slightly unique, and there will be small variations in shape and size, rounding, finishing, and of course internal variations in the material itself. This is intentional, and is a feature we adore in these sets. We have manually inspected each piece and discarded beads where variations have been too high, or of the type that might negatively impact your experience.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLong Form\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27 x 14mm Mílos + 1x 15mm Lil' Boss + 2x 10mm Ti Mílos + 2x 12mm Ti Mílos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOx horn ~ 67g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheep horn ~67.5g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eStrung on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17 x 14mm Mílos + 1x 15mm Lil' Boss \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOx horn ~ 38g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheep horn ~38.5g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eStrung on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Although the animal horn material is quite robust, \u003cspan\u003eit can crack and chip, particularly if they are allowed to dry out too much.

The sets are designed to be worn with a double loop around the wrist, but note that the beads themselves will probably fully cover the cord, meaning that exposed cord will complete the wrap (see photo for reference). \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBt_480nVPA\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" title=\"MKUltra Mala Komboloi Aroundsquare\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto see the Ultras in action on our Instagram feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27 (+2)x Glow Comm+ 1x 15mm Titanium Lil' Boss \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: ~33g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrung on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAO2's new custom 12-strand, high density, 2mm Kevlar cord\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information on the MKUltras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MKUltras are a hybrid design, combining elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads. The MKUltra name gives a nod to this lineage, as well as their expedience as tools to help us focus our minds and still our thoughts. They can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from quiet bead counting, through to raucous flipping. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique setup of the MKUltras allows them to be worn like mala beads, or carried discretely in the pocket. They adjust by means of a simple friction fit through the larger \"Micro Boss\" bead closure. Although the design is exceedingly simple, we're fairly confident you won't find anything quite like them around. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Micro Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way, the Ultras can be worn on the wrist, or loosened and slid up above the elbow to keep them out of the way when needed. Excess cordage can be knotted loosely around the Micro Boss bead when they are worn on the wrist, or left dangling. This modifiable arrangement allows them to be used very quietly, for simple bead counting used in breath work and meditation, to \"raindrop\" methods marked by the satisfying, rhythmic clacking of the beads, as well as much more physical methods of manipulation which resemble short game begleri play. While they aren't intended as a highly technical skill toy, there are still a solid range of moves you can link together, and lots of ways of working with them.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Ultras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e You can wear em on your wrist, or check out the video below for some other examples of what these beads are capable of. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdHpUPvJNMU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":49664116654354,"sku":"Glow Comm long (27) POM White","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":49664116687122,"sku":"Glow Comm long (27) POM  Red","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":49664116719890,"sku":"Glow Comm long (27) POM  Blue","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_00202.jpg?v=1719343504"},{"product_id":"remeshok-chetki-polymer-and-delrin-beavertail-editions","title":"Remeshok Chetki - Polymer Beavertail Editions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemeshok Chetki - Polymer Beavertail Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beavertail Edition of our popular Remeshok chetki feature an elongated end bead, tapered to a stout thickness at the outer end, and rounded for a comfortable experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beavertails are thus named\u003cspan\u003e 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince 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.
