Deadeye Donut Hollows - Titanium Edition
Deadeye Donut Hollows - Titanium Edition
Our Deadeye contact coins have been around for a long time, providing all the good, old-fashioned benefits of a challenge coin or worry stone, but offering countless additional opportunities for manipulations and sleight of hand tricks. Our original Deadeye Hollows took this to an extreme by hollowing out the core of the coin and allowing for additional manipulation opportunities. The new Donut Hollows continue the tradition, offering a much more substantial feeling carry item, with all the same features that have made the Deadeye series a modern classic.
The Donut Hollows feature a 10mm cross sectional diameter, much thicker than our original Hollows, but with the same overall diameter. This gives these beauties a much more substantial feel in the hand, with accentuated ergonomics that are great for manipulations as well as just general handling. Somewhat counter-intuitively, these new hollows are in many ways more conducive to manipulations than the original Hollows. However, folks who are accustomed to handling the originals may find the new Donuts a bit awkward at first, as they handle a bit more like the original Deadeyes themselves rather than a Hollow. Whatever your intentions for them, it's hard to deny that they're also just very nice little pieces of metal.. if you appreciate the simple geometry of our Nowhere Planks, and even if you aren't much for manipulations, these new Hollows make a very satisfying little carry item.

General Information On the Deadeye Coins
Aroundsquare’s Deadeyes are part skill toy, part worry stone, part mind control device. Roll them between your fingers, or press use your thumb into the smooth contour and breath deep to dissolve the stresses of daily life.
These contact coins are designed to be handled and manipulated. 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. But 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 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.
All Deadeyes are packaged in a box, and ship with Aroundsquare stickers.
