Knucklebone - Silicone Honeybones
Aroundsquare knucklebones are a pocket friendly skill toy that can be manipulated to perform tricks, or just pass the time. With the original kbones, we sparked a whole new category of skill toys, but make no mistake, the knucklebones are the original hardbody knuckle rollers.
The silicone honeybones are made from high quality, relatively stiff silicone, and come in three sizes--the original size, mini (90%), and micro (80%). The flexibility, light weight, and grip of these pieces gives them a truly unique feel, and enables a range of flexing and stretching exercises which can be used to help condition and warm up the fingers. The grip and weight mean that they won't flow through the fingers as smoothly as other materials, but the flip side of that is that they provide immense control during play. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of these bones, however, is that they are extremely quiet to play, and drops don't pose a threat to toes, or to disrupting a quiet room with the loud clang of metal hitting the floor.
Details:
- Sold in 3-packs: one regular sized, one mini, and one micro
- Available in either black, or colourless/ translucent silicone
- Weights on all three sizes are very light
Warnings: Metal versions are heavy and solid--can break things or hurt things if dropped. It is recommended that you play over carpet, couch, or the like, or outside. Also, they are theoretically ingestible, so keep them away from young kids.

I will share my story using this product in case it is helpful to any others.
For context:
• I fidget a moderate amount - especially when I'm nervous or thinking at my desk at work.
• I previously always did pen spinning. The problem with pen spinning is that the pen has a lot of momentum and is partially plastic. Especially since fidgeting is often a background task - the pen is dropped frequently, and quite loud/disruptive when dropped.
• I wanted to find an alternative fidgeting mechanism that was less disruptive, but still skill expressive (so no basic fidgeting toys).
• I tried begleri using paracord monkey's fist. This is skill expressive and quiet, but the problem is it requires too much momentum and arm movement to do at the desk. Even with short game it's still too much in my opinion.
The silicone honeybones were basically a perfect solution to my problem:
• The silicone makes it essentially silent when dropped, even when dropped on a keyboard it is very quiet.
• Knucklebones are a great fidgeting mechanism that is sufficiently skill expressive.
• As a bonus it is very portable.
• I will say silicone is very different from delrin/other materials as mentioned. It is much more grippy and lends itself better to control tricks as opposed to momentum tricks. For example, I can't really do sonics well with the silicone. This makes doing many traditional knucklebone tricks very difficult, but my purpose is to fidget and for that it still works well.
I really like all three sizes of these Knucklebones. They are lightweight but very flexible and sturdy. The give you a good exercise for your hands.
the silicone, both in weight and texture, make these bones super fun to play! you can get as risky as you want with knuckle play, putting them right on the edge of your fingers is fun. the grippiness allows for incredibly technical play, and i don't think they have a skill ceiling at all for innovation. someone more masterful than i could probably take silibones to a realm of their own entirely. one of the best and rarely leaves my pocket
Having no experience with the kbones I was unsure on which size I should purchase. This set of 3 is a great inexpensive way to determine. They are very grippy and have been great at getting used to finger control and don’t make any noise when dropped. My wife and son have also been using the two smaller sizes. Great product!
My clients/kids love these so much
