Thanks for the video: just a minor correction: komboloi are Greek “worry beads” with no religious significance (the Greek Orthodox tend to use prayer ropes instead of beads); komboloi have been used as fidget toys for centuries, and you can find tens of videos on komboloi tricks on TH-cam!
Thanks for the feedback. From what I found, however, it does appear komboloi have some origin or connection to the usual orthodox prayer rope. I don’t assume people today use komboloi for prayer. Hopefully that was clear enough.
@@natemartsolf I think it may have had indirectly, that is, through the Catholic Rosary, which succeeded the prayer rope, as it actually used beads. There are also the Russian Orthodox/ Ukrainian Catholic chotkis, which are quite different from the rest (and which may be coming out soon in an AO2 playable version!)
First?? Great video Nate, I've got some fun mini titans (I'm still awful at begleri) but I've had my eye on their other skill toys -- especially the MKUltras. cool to hear your thoughts on these man
Thanks so much for putting out this video man! Always love hearing your take on the stuff!!
My pleasure!

Interesting. I have a few handmade chotkis I use and would love to see how AO2 interprets those.
Nice video buddy, I’m lookin at getting the 8mm ultras in brass
Nice!
I'm so addicted to their titanium stuff. So so addicted :(
Me too!
How would you compare the mini stepped deadeye, is the size of a half dollar or a bit bigger?
I think they’re just a little bit bigger, but not too much.

Do you have any MKU mini sigmas? I'm thinking about buying one but they're 200$ and I still have like 300$ of stuff I want from AO2 haha oh man...
I do not. These are the only MKUs I’ve had experience with.
