AroundSquare

Deadeyes are Aroundsquare’s first entry into the world of currency manipulation, and they’ve put a lot of time and effort into the refinement of this design, and the development of possibilities surrounding it. The delrin version of the deadeyes is primarily intended as a lightweight worry stone. While it is possible to manipulate them and perform “contact coin” style tricks, as with the metal Deadeyes, the lightweight delrin material makes such manipulations harder to execute smoothly. That said, the shape is the same as the original metal coins, with the same ergonomic indent on either side, making them an excellent fidget toy that won’t weigh down the pockets.

The Delrin Deadeyes are currently available only in the larger 37mm diameter size. They weigh in at 7.5g per piece.

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.

The Everyman series, is Aroundsquare's most refined begleri design to date. The design of the beads is simple, intentionally "average"..  hence the Everyman name. It borrows some of the best elements of both the Titans and the Hydras and integrates them in a fresh shape. It's bigger than one and smaller than the other. It's nothing bizarre. It's just normal. It's average. It's the Everyman.

The Everyman bead design updates the shape of the conventional "Standard Issue" Greek begleri for modern technical begleri play. The sloping top of the beads helps prevent the string from jamming up during rolls, like the rounded tops of the Titans. Like the Hydras, it features straight angles which help with grip and bead control, as well as a compact size which makes the beads nimble during play. While the beads are relatively small, at 17mm by 17mm, they feel substantial in the hand due to the angles and carry good weight.

Everyman - Heavy Metal Remans

Aroundsquare's "Everyman" begleri are simple, not too big, not too small, just intentionally "average". They're a begleri for everyone.

Warning: The acrylic “Ice Bones” tend to attract the interest of children, but they present a choking hazard, so keep them away from children under 10.

About the Acrylic “Ice” Knucklebones

The clear acrylic “Ice Bones” are lightweight, and have a smooth, glossy finish that provides good grip during play. The combination of weight and grip makes them less prone to drops, and is also excellent for many advanced moves that involve manipulating the kbone from one of the ends. 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.

The Ice Bones are quite striking visually. They are fully transparent, and refract light in very interesting ways due to their curvatures, allowing for some stunning photography possibilities. The coloured versions are dyed with excellent colour saturation.

AO2's Knucklebone is the original hardbody knuckle roller, make no mistake. 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. 

Size: Regular/ Original: 6cm long and 14g (machine finish).

Aroundsquare's  stainless steel Knucklebones are a  pocket-friendly skill toy that can be manipulated to perform tricks or just pass the time. The surface is machine-finished with a light polish, and although stainless steel is not as tacky as brass or copper, the finish nonetheless provides a sufficient 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 metal  kbones are laser-etched with the word "a r o u n d s q u a r e" around the equator to mark their authenticity.

The weight and hard material mean it will make a loud noise when it is dropped on hard surfaces, and has the potential to break things in its path. Be careful with it. The brass is relatively soft, and will still show scratches and dings on the drop portions.. it falls with weight, so it hits concrete hard.

The 90% size "Mini" size gives a level of performance comparable to the original kbone size, with slightly less bulk. The 80% size "Micro" is still technically capable of all the same tricks, but  for seasoned players, the size will feel very small and will encourage a different style of play that is less dependent on momentum.

Knucklebone Micro (roughly 80% of original dimensions) weight 38.9g.

Knucklebone Mini (roughly 90% of original dimensions) weight 56.0g.

Knucklebone Smalls - Titanium

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 kbone "smalls" are a downsized version of the originals, packing high performance and high-end materials into an even smaller, more pocket-friendly unit. The kbone smalls are available in a variety of metals, but all are laser etched with our AO2 logo, as a stamp of authenticity. 

Details on the titanium smalls: 

• Knucklebone Micro: 22.0g (roughly 80% of original dimensions)
• Knucklebone Mini: 31.4g (roughly 90% of original dimension)
• Grade 5 titanium 
• Sandblasted surface (will smooth out to a darker, more tumbled appearance with use)
• Laser etched with the the AO2 logo to certify authenticity

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.
