With a hybrid design, the MK Ultras combine elements of traditional Mala and Komboloi beads. The MKUltra name gives a nod to this lineage, as well as their expedience as tools to help us focus our minds and still our thoughts. They can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from quiet bead counting, through to raucous flipping.
The unique setup of the MKUltras allows them to be worn like mala beads, or carried discretely in the pocket. They adjust by means of a simple friction fit through the larger "Boss" bead closure. This is a knotless system, and does not require any special lock bead. The cord is simply compressed when threaded through the Boss bead, providing a reliable, secure fastener, that is easy to adjust when needed.
The MKUltras Delrin Edition consists of 17 of our new barrel-shaped Delrin beads, measuring approximately 11x11mm each, with a 15mm stainless steel Lil' Boss bead to close/ adjust the loop. The Delrin beads have a unique look and feel on the wrist, and are very comfortable to wear due to their light weight and rounding. In terms of features, the sets are suitable to any play style. They are light and nimble, and work great with the heavier stainless steel boss bead.
