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.

I love my copper Deadeye. I was initially hesitant about the metallic scent, but it turns out I actually enjoy it. Plus, the antimicrobial properties of copper are a nice bonus—it’s literally cleaning your fingers as you fidget.
Compared to the Smalls version, the full-size Deadeye is much better suited for tricks and manipulation. It feels more controlled in the hand and easier to work with.
If you’re on the fence because of the scent, give it a shot—you might end up liking it more than you expect. Highly recommended.

Stainless steel large deadeye/ blue washed titanium begleri hydras
Incredible quality and finish on these skill toys, I absolutely love the weighted feel of the steel coin it makes it easier for me to control the movement and the weight of the beads on the titanium hydras are unmatched, the paracord is also extremely comfortable between the fingers and should definitely be considered as your next purchase!

Great look and feel
Love the look and feel of the slightly grainy texture, feels really good in the hand and as a mindful/meditation aid. Find it hard to do any smooth tricks with due to the texture - but that could just as easily be my lack of talent! Lovely thing to carry and connect as a pocket EDC

A lot of little scratches appear...
Hi,
I enjoy my copper mirror finish Deadeye coin, however I assumed that the mirror finish would stay longer.
In fact, numerous micro-scratches have appeared on the surface of the coin (more concentrated on the inner edges, if that makes sense - in short, where the coin touches a surface such as a table when laid flat).
Obviously it's not noticeable from a certain distance, but my personal satisfaction is affected.
