The idea was to try to integrate the most appealing features of all three sizes of our metal knucklebones.. slimming the form factor down as much as possible to reduce weight like the micro size, approximating the length and max diameter of the mini size for a streamlined and pocket friendly size, and maximizing the length of the grip section to make the unit easy to use for people with larger hands, and to benefit from the longer weight distribution of the original size. The resulting design hits the mark on all three. While kbone selection is ultimately a personal preference, this trim unit has a lot to offer for folks looking for a minimalist, high performance roller. The titanium Sliminis feature a comfortable machine finish that minimizes friction, along with a distinctive Aroundsquare word mark as a stamp of authenticity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep Dive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent players have their own favourite sizes, materials, and setups of Knucklebones. The original size is appealing to many for its weight distribution and general reliability for trick performance. The adorable “micro” is incredibly pocket friendly, and serviceable for tricks, but it can tend to slip out of the hands more than the larger ones. Many players have found the “mini” size hits the Goldilocks zone for the combination of playable size, light weight, and being pocket friendly. But as time has passed, we began to wonder about the potential for a slimmed down version with slightly exaggerated curves... trying to retain the light weight and pocketability of the “micro” size, with the performance and reliability of the original and mini. The resulting project evolved to a slimmed down version most closely resembling our mini size. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbably the most interesting aspect of the new geometry is the accentuated middle “grip” section, which feels very much extended, due to the smaller radius of the end knobs, and just how thin it is in the middle.

The aluminum OG knucklebone has always been a player favourite, and this new aluminum slimini is destined for the same. It's a beautiful light weight, solidly under the titanium weight, but decisively above the polymer materials, all while still sporting that metallic feel that you know and love. The pronounced end-weighting of the design gives it nice control and satisfying movement during momentum-based tricks. The aluminum Slimini Knucklebone is available in a lovely machine finish and a gorgeous sandblasted finish (see the macro photo below for all the juicy details!), both feature an Aroundsquare wordmark on the centre line, and weigh in at around 16g per piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep Dive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent players have their own favourite sizes, materials, and setups of Knucklebones. The original size is appealing to many for its weight distribution and general reliability for trick performance. The adorable “micro” is incredibly pocket friendly, and serviceable for tricks, but it can tend to slip out of the hands more than the larger ones. Many players have found the “mini” size hits the Goldilocks zone for the combination of playable size, light weight, and being pocket friendly. But as time has passed, we began to wonder about the potential for a slimmed down version with slightly exaggerated curves.. trying to retain the light weight and pocketability of the “micro” size, with the performance and reliability of the original and mini. The resulting project evolved to a slimmed down version most closely resembling our mini size. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbably the most interesting aspect of the new geometry is the accentuated middle “grip” section, which feels very much extended, due to the smaller radius of the end knobs, and just how thin it is in the middle. This has the effect of helping to lock the fingers into position and centre the knucklebone. This helps to prevent it from slipping out of the fingers, even despite the relatively small end knobs. If you're accustomed to our existing Knucklebones, be prepared for a very different feel, and it may take some time for your technique to adjust and your tricks to smooth out with it, but it has been certified as a high performance unit here in house, and by top tier players in the community. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial with weight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless Steel: ~46g (compared to the Micro at ~39g, the Mini at ~56g, and the OG at ~78.6g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper: ~52.8g \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(compared to the Micro at ~44.5g, the Mini at ~63.5g, and the OG at ~89g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass: ~\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e49.5g (compared to the Micro at ~42.8g, the Mini at ~60g, and the OG at ~84g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum ~16.5g (compared to the original at ~28g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~55mm (compared to the Micro at ~48mm, the Mini at ~54mm, and the OG at ~60mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~17mm (compared to the Micro at ~16mm, the Mini at ~18mm, and the OG at ~20mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMin diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~5mm (compared to the Micro at 6.4mm, the Mini at ~7.2mm, and the OG at ~8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal versions are heavy and solid--can break things or hurt things if dropped.

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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003ePolished \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~7.6g \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFor more information on Aroundsquare's Kbones, visit the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Knucklebone Product Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ao2worldwide.com\/pages\/knucklebone\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKnucklebone product page\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B_ai1w2a5LA\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47254046310674,"sku":"KB-SLM-MIN-UT-P","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_4451.jpg?v=1711493168"},{"product_id":"knucklebone-og-slimini-titanium-edition","title":"Knucklebone - OG Slim Titanium Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOG Slim Knucklebone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAroundsquare knucklebones are a pocket friendly skill toy that can be manipulated to perform tricks, or just pass the time.

But of course, we wouldn't stop there, and we're pleased to release the OG Slim, a solid piece titanium version of the classic Knucklebone, with the same overall length and knob dimensions you're used to, but with that slimmed down middle grip you've grown to love, all in a solid piece construction. The slim grip helps to secure the kbone between the fingers, and pushes the weight distribution slightly outwards, for a unique and user friendly feel that distinguishes it from the original.

The surface is machine finished with a light polish, which provides a good amount of grip to prevent it from slipping out of the fingers. Playing the heavy metal versions can be good exercise for the fingers, and the momentum can be an advantage for learning certain tricks.

The finish provides the right amount of grip, while still feeling smooth, with a low friction contact for rolling between the fingers.

This is a simple skill toy that is manipulated with the fingers of one or both hands to perform tricks and patterns, or simply to pass the time.

The modern version is an updated and refined model, better suited to bigger hands, and optimized for smoother flow and better trick potential.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFor more information on Aroundsquare's Kbones, visit the \u003ca title=\"Knucklebone Product Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ao2worldwide.com\/pages\/knucklebone\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKnucklebone product page\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B_ai1w2a5LA\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50008888901906,"sku":"KB-MIN-WD-BCH","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/IMG_0345.jpg?v=1748556531"},{"product_id":"knucklebone-wood-larges","title":"Knucklebone - Large Wood","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnucklebone - Large Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" class=\"\"\u003eThe large wooden editions of our popular Knucklebone series provide all the great features of the original wooden knucklebones, in a slightly larger format.

This is a simple skill toy that is manipulated with the fingers of one or both hands to perform tricks and patterns, or simply to pass the time. It is very discrete (unless dropped) and can be played in very restricted spaces, and in contexts where other showier skill toys may not be appropriate. The kbone is very appealing, not only for its elegant form and ergonomic design, but also, for the range of play styles that it enables. The rounded lines are perfect for spinning, flipping, and passing it between the fingers. It can be manipulated very casually and quietly like a worry stone, or can be used to perform a surprising array of freestyle flows, technical tricks, isolations, and even aerials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAroundsquare's wooden Knucklebones are a lightweight and user-friendly rendition of the toy. While the wooden kbones have the same size and shape as the metal originals, the lighter weight, combined with the wood grain texture, open up new possibilities for manipulation, using the round end knobs to manipulate, pivot, and stall the kbones during play. Players accustomed to the momentum and gravity effect of the heavier metal versions may take some time to adjust to this style of play, but those interested in tricks and technical play will find this version extremely flexible and entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePlease understand that because these are made from a natural material, they will vary in appearance. Some are darker, some are lighter. Some have more pronounced grain patterns, and others have very little. This is particularly the case with the ebony and purple heart wood pieces, which have a wild range of patterns. Some have very distinct colour patters with sharp contrasts, and some are completely uniform in colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eIn addition, because these are turned on a wood lathe, there may be light markings or lathe lines on the wood--these tend to fade over time as the piece is played, but will not disappear completely. Any kbones with chips or splinters that might affect the feel or playability have been sorted out during our quality control process, but most of the kbones will have some visible discolouration or blemishes on close inspection. These are character marks, and if you're using your kbones a lot, they are certainly not going to be the last character marks. If you are uncomfortable with this, or if you want a much more precision-controlled item, we recommend the delrin models as a good alternative to the wood. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe wooden Knucklebones have all the beauty, charm, and the vulnerabilities of wood. When dropped on rough surfaces, or if kept in pockets with sharp items like toothed keys, they may chip or scratch. That said, the wood versions are light enough that when they do drop, the impact is not very hard, and as such, they tend not to do much damage to themselves.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more information on the Ebony edition check out the May 2025 drop video. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"May 2025 Drop Preview\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YYYqp1aNgbU\" height=\"487\" width=\"866\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFor more information on Aroundsquare's Kbones, visit the \u003ca title=\"Knucklebone Product Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ao2worldwide.com\/pages\/knucklebone\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKnucklebone product page\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B_ai1w2a5LA\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Beech","offer_id":51320000610578,"sku":"KB-LRG-WD-BCH","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebony","offer_id":51320000643346,"sku":"KB-LRG-WD-EBN","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/32.jpg?v=1748555540"},{"product_id":"knucklebone-ultem","title":"Knucklebone - Original Ultem Editions","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnucklebone - Ultem \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur new Ultem knucklebone line features the original shape and size, our new slimini design, and a middle grip for the modular setup. Ultem is slightly heavier than acrylics, but in its polished finish, it has much the same feel. Both the original and the slimini come polished, which improves grip during manipulation. This can be helpful in cold\/ dry weather, and is useful for moves that involve manipulating the knucklebones from the end grips.

Unlike polished or even machine finished polymer materials, the sandblasted ultem does not grip or bind to the skin, allowing it to smoothly glide from position to position.

Where the blasted version opens with a dusty grey and darkens into a frosted black, the polished version starts deep and stays deep with a rich, glassy black with a smooth, almost liquid surface. The polished finish gives the material a denser, more substantial visual presence, and catches light in a way that highlights the Knucklebones' geometry with clean, sharp definition. The feel underhand is equally smooth, with the inherent catching nature of polished ultem lending a fluid, effortless quality to movement through the fingers.

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 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishes:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Ultem - Sandblasted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Ultem - Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmber Ultem - Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: ~ 12.7g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 60mm\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a hands on look at the Black Sandblasted Ultem Knucklebone, checkout the May 2026 launch video!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hFg8mZjbuMM?si=HwLEHQR91eCHdp6-\u0026amp;start=1401\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFor more information on Aroundsquare's Kbones, visit the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ao2worldwide.com\/pages\/knucklebone\" title=\"Knucklebone Product Page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKnucklebone product page\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B_ai1w2a5LA\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aroundsquare","offers":[{"title":"Black Ultem-Sandblasted","offer_id":52423532839186,"sku":"KB-UT-BLK-S","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Amber Ultem - Polished","offer_id":52423532871954,"sku":"KB-UT-P","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Ultem - Polished","offer_id":52423532904722,"sku":"KB-UT-BLK-P","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/files\/kb_combo1.png?v=1782459852"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0121\/4536\/0953\/collections\/ao2_anarchy_large_border_6ad22b68-dc53-4b5c-8f4c-48e477a9f562.jpg?v=1785274876","url":"https:\/\/www.aroundsquare.com\/collections\/wholesale-knucklebones.oembed","provider":"aroundsquare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
