Customers praise this durable paracord rosary as "built like a tank" with heavy metal beads that feel "comfortable in the hand." Many appreciate the compact design, ruggedness, and beautiful craftsmanship. Some note the crucifix is small and Our Father beads are difficult to differentiate by touch in darkness. Overwhelmingly positive feedback on quality and durability.
Very comfortable to hold and when I'm at work I can safely put it in my pocket and not worry about kinking or breaking and tangles. It's very durable and even though it's not a feminine look it has a very feminine feel to it. I love it so much I ordered a different rosary the Cats Eye and it will be here this week and excited to see it. I'm sure it will be as great as this one! Highly recommend if you want a rosary you don't have to worry about being gentle with.
I loved the St. Benedict unbreakable Rosary so much I contacted Rugged Rosaries and asked for a custom pocket version . They delivered! I will never leave home without it! Thank you Rugged Rosaries! You are the best ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This Rosary is spectacular. It is surprisingly beautiful; the chromed metal beads give off a light like starlight in the hand. More than that, it is as durable as advertised. It recently proved its mettle by surviving a torrential rainstorm that would probably have seriously damaged a more fragile Rosary. On top of all that, it's nicely compact, and doesn't take up too much space in my pockets. I got exactly what I paid for, and I am highly satisfied.
Love this! Weighty and masculine. It has presence and I really like that. The crucifix is nice but I had another that I felt suited this better. I’d highly recommend this for anyone but especially men. Would make a great affordable gift too!
Beautiful and super tough rosary. Love the weight and feel of the beads and crucifix. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a solid heavy duty rosary.
I purchased the unbreakable St. Benedict rosary due to the metal beads and unique split at the first mystery. This one is heavy and I like it quite a bit. I modified mine to add barrel knots and a 3nail crucifix. Any rosary offered is a great addition but I highly suggest this one. It feels great to pray with.
Very heavy duty rosary that is smaller in size but still has large steel beads that feel confortable on the hands. I feel it is easier to use despite some arthritis in my hands.
We have purchased at least a two dozen Rugged Rosaries and this might be the most beautiful yet. It's certainly the most beautiful Rosary that the recipient has ever seen. (His words, not mine.) Thanks, Rugged Rosaries, for creating such wonderful products that make it a delight to share the Most Holy Rosary of Our Blessed Mother with our loved ones!
I loved this rosary, it is truly beautiful and well-constructed. Feels robust, heavy and compact. The cross is very beautiful and complements the style of the rosary.
It is a little more heavy than I thought but it is part of the charm. The downside is that I think the Our Father beads are almost the same size as the Hail Mary beads and if you are praying in the darkness it is easy to miss the spot.
Aside from that it compels you to take it with you all day.
This Rosary has a unique feel in your hand. The weight and smooth flow of the beads just feel right. Great length, not too small, or long hits a nice middle ground. Premium quality I can't say enough good things about it. It goes with me wherever I go, and I have zero doubts that it will hold up.
I am very pleased with my Bold Unbreakable St. Benedict rosary. It is heavy which grounds me when praying, and while it looks bold it is not ostentatious.
I started praying the rosary with the $5 "The + Living Simply + Catholic Wood Rosary" offered by Rugged Rosaries a few months ago. While this little wood rosary is of amazing value for the money, I wanted something that felt less fragile, but still afforded portability. The Bold Unbreakable St. Benedict Paracord Rosary was exactly what I was looking for. The sliding beads in this design are a very different experience than rosaries with knots around the Our Father beads, but I have grown fond of this motion as I pray, and I find it very satisfying.
Initially I read some reviews and comments on the Bold Unbreakable St. Benedict Rosary, and the two main points that were usually brought up were:
1) the crucifix is too small; and,
2) the Our Father beads are too similar to the Hail Mary beads.
I can understand both of this points, and they are valid observations.
I will defend that by having a smaller cross on this portable rugged rosary, it allows it to be much more pocketable. So, in this regard, I find value in having this smaller crucifix, which is beautifully crafted.
Regarding the Our Father beads, I agree that they take a while to get used to, and if you are praying in the dark, they can be hard to identify by touch alone (specially using only one hand). While I think opting for much larger beads, or tying knots around the Our Father beads would would be detrimental to this rosary's style and form factor, I would suggest that the RR team could offer an option to replace the smooth Our Father beads with more textured plastic beads.
I thank the RR team for this amazing product, and I hope my review provides some insights to prospective buyers.
I’ve been wanting a smaller St Benedict rosary to carry over my RR fullsize one. I requested if they could do this for me. The RR team is amazing! I love this small pocket rosary, the weight of the steel beads reminds me that it is there. This is pictured next to my full size KofC RR rosary.
Rugged Rosaries have brought me so much joy! I love the toughness of the product and I have has so many comments on them. Also, I've recommended many others to buy them. Great products, I love them.
I have had nothing but great experiences every time I’ve ordered a rosary from Rugged Rosaries. The rosaries are top notch, beautiful, and durable. Thank you!
I have purchased two Unbreakable Rosaries, with some slight modifications to them. Absolutely love them both, they are truly unbreakable. Also have the Gentlemen’s and the Ashes to Ashes Rosaries, I really like their all metal rosaries, also looking to get 2 more all metal Rosaries. Thank you…. Rugged Rosaries!!!
Rugged Rosaries are the best rosaries around I own a lot of them now and love them all. The Bold Unbreakable St. Benedict Paracord Rosary is no exception I like the metal beads, the more compact size I carry it with me everywhere on a belt pouch.
Once again, great rosary, masculinity. Man needs to pray the rosary and Rugged Rosaries is the choice, it has to be period.
This rosary is excellent and is just about perfect. I really love the metal beads and how there are no knots separating the Our Father beads. It keeps the size nice and compact and also makes prayer flow nicely from bead to bead. This rosary also feels great in the hand and has a nice weight. I gave this rosary 4 stars and it is just about perfect with one exception...the crucifix is beautiful and definitely unique but on the small side for this rosary. I swapped mine out like others have done with a larger more substantial crucifix. Now it looks perfect and is one of my go to daily rosaries for prayer.
