Remeshok Chetki - Aluminum Beavertail Edition
Our aluminum Remeshok Chetki (a type of long-handle, short-paddle skill toy...)
General Information on the Beavertail Mods
Our brand-new Beavertail edition of the Remeshoks features an elongated tail bead design that tapers towards the end. It is thick, robust, and rounded to provide a highly comfortable grip. We call them "Beavertails" not because they look exactly like a beaver's tail, but as a nod to the naming convention of long, narrow canoe paddles—partly because they slap with serious power (as you will soon find out), and of course, because they are proudly made in Canada.
They look sleek, but it’s not just about aesthetics. These elongated tail beads offer an unexpected functional benefit: they lock the tip of the paddle securely between your fingers. They are thin enough to slide easily through your fingers, but when tension is applied at an angle, the beads act like a lever. This effectively prevents the paddle from slipping out of your hands when you don't want it to, while absorbing and releasing tension during play to create a satisfying springiness.
Since the Beavertail beads are longer than any end beads we have released to date, we felt it was wise to shorten the connection section at both ends. For the new Beavertail edition, we have shortened the length to 16+2. The total length of each variant remains roughly the same.

Ok, so I have a Black Ultem Chetki, as well as a gorgeous green sandalwood Chetki. Both have chicklet ends. I spotted the sandblasted aluminium beavertail, and wanted to try it for the extra weight, and the heavier beavertail end ends. Not only is this a gorgeous skill toy, beautifully manufactured, but the weight allows for some wicked fast turnaround and finger rolls. Lovely. Thank you Matt and team!
Since I started playing chetki it's hard to go back to begleri. They are just the perfect blend of skill and relaxation. These are the perfect weight. They have the perfect grip. I can tell they are going to have a pleasant wear to them with the Natty anyway - (as long as you aren't slinging them on concrete or something). The only minor nit-pick I have is the Natty aluminum has the slightest stickiness to it compared to titanium metal. I also have a ultem set. So for bead counting and raindrops-just the slightest sticking. But finger rolls and the way they play is perfect. Also- Im amazed they aren't super loud during casual play. You could take these in a medium crowd and nobody will care if you have any self awareness.
These have a surprising heft to them after mainly using lighter materials (wood/delrin/acrylic). The weight on the beavertails really gives them momentum in the swings. The sandblasted finish offers a nice texture without being rough. The texture and the softer metal do show some wear and tear pretty quickly, but it does not impair the play at all. It gives it a nice worn look that I love. I find myself constantly reaching for this one.
My first set of chetki. Took me a couple of days to get the feel for them. I tend to have very dry hands and even the polished stuff likes to slip out. That being said this is a nice set. The color is amazing and weight feels good. Highly recommend!
My 2nd chetki and 1st metal. I love the weight of it. It is great for having that extra oomph to it but like Matt said, doesn’t hurt when using it if you’re a beginner like me. The beavertail ends are nice and easy to grab and the texture feels so much different but good different than i expected. It feels soft and smooth. The weight is great for bead counting and raindrops too!
