Knucklebone by AroundSquare 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.
The rounded lines are perfect for spinning and can be used to perform a surprising array of freestyle flows, technical tricks, isolations, and even aerials. There are a handful of tutorials already available online at the AO2 YouTube channel, with more to come.
The delrin version is light and smooth and conducive to quiet manipulation and two-play including transfers, twiddling between fingers, and two-handed rolls. These are the standard size Knucklebone Delrins, which are approximately 6cm in length.
