These rosaries are the best! They are durable and fit well in my arthritic hands. The crosses are beautiful as well and the workmanship is top notch. Thank you!

St Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio) was known to say of his rosary, "Hand me my weapon." In our daily spiritual battle, we need a weapon to wield that will not fall apart. The rosaries from Rugged Rosaries will not fall apart. This is only my second rosary but I have gifted several to others. When I want a well-crafted weapon, I go to Rugged Rosaries. The Crusade Rosary is beautiful and harkens back to medieval days. The knots are tight and the ivory and red beads are gorgeous. I'm pretty hard on rosaries and have broken several. I have yet to damage a rosary from this company. I have worn the finish from another RR set but this is different. I wasn't able to customize this because of the limitation of what was available during the Covid-19 lockdown but I couldn't be more pleased. Excellent job; excellent rosary.

This is one of several Rosary I have from Rugged Rosary. They are all well made but this one is especially interesting and beautiful. Worth the price.

This is my forth rosary from you..........love them all!!! you make good tough rosaries.....
again, many thanks

This rosary is beautifully crafted. It is strong and durable: two of the aspirational goals for the faith of any believer. In this metaphorical sense this wonderful instrument by its very constitution alone serves as an inspirational reminder of one of our loftiest goals; that of having an unswerving and robust faith.
The colors of the ivory beads are beautifully tempered by the six matted deep red beads of the “Our Father” and further harmonized by the dark ivory-light tan of the chord itself. The Crucifix is simple but solid with beautifully designed indentations at its four edges. The indentations are circular and thereby balance the basic verticality of the Cross. I emphatically recommend purchasing an exemplar.

The workmanship on this rosary is excellent. It’s now my favorite of the ones I own. Highly recommended.

To start things off: I pick a Rosary based on the crucifix. If I don't like the look or feel of the crucifix, I have a hard time praying with a rosary. I loved my last Rosary, so when it broke I was sad to replace it and new I needed to get something sturdy without . What I love most about my Rugged Rosary is that I was able to customize it -- I didn't need to worry if the Crucifix would be right, because I could pick whichever Crucifix I wanted. The colors of the Crusader rosary are neutral and relaxing (a contrast to the inspiring helmet center bead). And though the Rosary is big -- much bigger than I expected -- it doesn't feel heavy or bulgy in my pocket. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

My wife ordered me a custom colored “Crusader” rosary for Christmas. I sent the photos of it to my father to show it off, he hasn’t stopped talking about it since. So after the wife and I have started getting back into our faith, I decided to order a couple different rosaries. The quality and attention to detail are unmatched. 550 and premium quality beads and crucifixes. 10/10 TLDR; Rugged Rosaries are the best I’ve ever seen, any “custom” changes will be taken care of and the shipping is extremely fast. Will be ordering more for other family members soon. Thank you all for everything you do.

Simply a beautiful and durable rosary. I bought the Crusaders Rosary (black on red cord). Buy one and I guarantee you will not regret this purchase

This is an amazing Rosary. It is heavy duty, masculine, and it reminds me of the brave Crusaders who prayed the Rosary for strength and for the intercessions of the Blessed Virgin. Very satisfied repeat customer.

I recieved my rosary a few days ago I love it. I love how the beads look, a very masculine look to them. The quality is great, the beads feel solid in my hand. I believe they will last a lifetime.

This Crusader Rosary is unique and of excellent quality...as are all of the rosaries made by RR. Construction is unsurpassed and will last a lifetime. Thank you!

Great rosary very sturdy. Will order more in the future.

What beautiful rosaries. I love the super quality and of course they are super special and lovely. I'm so happy with my rosaries. Thank u so much for the medall of saint Michael. That was something very special u guys did. Thank u again and God bless your company and hands.

Very well made rosary. The metalwork on the crucifix is excellent and the text on the St Benedict medal is clear. The rosary has a very good feel in the hand while praying and feels very durable. I had high expectations for this product from the photos and it did not disappoint!

Bigger than I thought it would be. Exceeded expectations.

These are all beautifully constructed. Big gift hits!! Great quality, really fast shipping. Thank you!

I have this rosary to my daughters boyfriend who going in to the Air Force after college. He was thrilled with it. I loved it and would buy one for myself.

I have bought many rosaries and other items from Cordbands and have always been very happy with both their products and their customer service. Their unique rosaries never fail to lift my spirit to Our Lord, and also never break while doing so. It's good to see a company that provides the faithful with the tools needed to fight the good fight, they are certainly doing their part.

The rosary is beautiful. I would like liked it to be a bit longer so that it would hang a bit lower.

This beautiful Rosary is inspiring and easy to pray. The extra medals I requested are also beautiful!
Thank you for adding spiritual inspiration to my prayers as I carry this with me on walks!
I will be back again for more and will continue to recommend your rosaries.

As always, they have outdone themselves. This is my 4th or 5th purchase, and this is the same as the others, great quality and craftsmanship. The Rugged Rosaries customer support was also very helpful. There was an issue with the information I had put down, so I contacted them and they were more than happy to resolve it. I have yet to find another company that is willing to go the distance for there customers as RR is. The Crusaders Rosary will be a great addition to the collection, and it looks even better in person. Thank you again Rugged Rosaries!

I have purchased a number of rosaries from Cordbands/Rugged Rosaries. Each has been well crafted and more beautiful than the pictures can show them. The Crusaders Rosary is no exception! I have given my priest one of the Rugged Rosaries. When he was blessing this one he commented on how much he enjoys his and thought this one was beautiful with the contrast of the red cord, black, and white beads. Thank you for the quality and durability you build into each of these rosaries!

I could not be happier. This is exactly what I wanted and needed.

Everything this company produces is wonderfully made and of the highest quality. Their products are worth every single penny paid. Got the black on red cord model as a Christmas gift for my son. He adores my Rugged Rosary model and I know he will beyond thrilled with this one.

The rosary’s heavy, tough, big, brilliant, and fully equipped to retake the Holy Land. I had mine custom ordered so that it had a Templar Cross where a medal would go and all medal beads. What I got exceeded expectations. 10/10

I am apparently rough with my rosaries because they all tend to break. These are great! So far so good - they seem to be well made.

My husband has a few different rosaries now from this site. He very much enjoys them for their beauty and stability. And it makes wonderful Christmas gifts ;)

The rosary was just what I expected and shipping was faster than I anticipated. Great product and service. I definitely Recommend these rosaries as gifts.

As with the other rosaries I have purchased, the the quality of the product and timely service were excellent.

I own several Rugged Rosaries. They are always exactly as good as promised. As well as excellent customer service.

GOT THIS FOR MY GRANDSON, WHO IS SOON CONVERTING TO CATHOLICISM AND HE LOVED IT - THANK YOU FOR QUICK SERVICE AND A LOVELY ROSARY

I CANNOT wait to give the rosaries and the St. Michael pendant and the patches to my Deacon husband and our son for Christmas this year! Thanks RR!

I am so glad that I ordered this rosary I know I will have it to pray with all my life

My husband uses this rosary daily, very good quality!

Made with love.

I purchased two rosaries for my wife-to-be and myself due to our recent conversion. Absolutely amazing rosaries. Elegant and strong. The Crusader's tan and cracked ivory rosary and the Faith over fear rosary is just awesome. Thank you guys so so much for your love and craftsmanship. God bless!!

I feel very blessed to have found the Rugged Rosary web site! I have always wanted a well made and awesome made rosary. My Crusader Rosary by far exceeded what I was hoping to have! I have other rosaries, but none to compare to the quality of my new Crusader Rugged Rosary! Thank you so much!!

You’re getting exactly what you payed. A sturdy , well-made, and handsome looking spiritual weapon! Fells great in my hands and a good weight. My only complaint is that their aren’t too many options for saintly medals. I really appreciate the design , size, and feel of the medals! Just wish they had more variety. Though, I bet it’s simply because they are a small company and they don’t have the resources or machinery or what not.

I purchased the Crusaders rosary for a dear friend who has the heart of a crusader. In the past I have bought pocket rosaries for my sons and the wooden bracelet for myself. My wife loves her rosary bracelet made from the muli-colored stones. Everyone love them and their excellent quality and manliness. I strongly recommend these rosaries to everyone.

Love your Rosaries! This is my fifth one purchased—Top notch!

I'm new to the Catholic faith. This was my first rosary. It seems very well made and I like it.

This Rosary took me back to Hundreds of years. Where the Crusaders were fighting everywhere. I am very happy someone can make this Beautiful Rosary. A must buy.

The red and black cord and beads are eye catching. The helmet centerpiece is unique. Please consider using the helmet as a bead for the Our Father prayer. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase and I am proud to carry this rosary.

I purchased the crusader rosary. I love the detail, the weight, and the beauty of this rosary. The feel of the cross in my hand as I pray the rosary opens my heart to Mary. I just told a group of 50 plus Catholic Athletes for Christ members about the rosary and how it would make a great gift for someone in their life or their own.

Although this rosary was larger then expected, the quality is top notch. It shipped faster then promised. I’ve already ordered other products. The entire process is unmatched. Highly recommend.

I’m a freshman at St. Ignatius High School and I recently got the crusaders rosary and I carry it in my pocket every day. The quality of the para cord, beads, crucifix, medals, and everything all together just blows me away. Thank you guys.

I bought two incredible rosaries and a St. Benedict pendant... shipped fast..quality is superb and it is something I am proud to own and carry.

I am very pleased with mu purchase of my (3) Rosaries, The Quality of the Rosaries is Good Very well made....
The Delivery was Made on time on the Day I was expecting them to be delivered.....
I was very pleased with everything having to do with this purchase....
Thanks so Much & "God Bless You All"!!!!!!!!!!

Love the rosary! It’s bigger and more solid than I expected - truly a weapon against evil! Thank you!

I’ve always been hard on delicate rosaries, so Rugged Rosaries are just what I need. This particular one is even better because of the bigger beads. I have some neuropathy in my finger tips, so this rosary is just what I needed. Add to that it is really sharp looking, and it is a “win-win”! Thank you!

Love this rosary, its beautifully made, and rugged as your name says...

I bought it as a gift for my son and he is very pleased with it. Thank you to all involved in this site. Your heart goes into making your products and it shows ❤🦁🐏🕊❤ God bless

I want to thank you for both rosaries. I wear it everyday to remind me that God is still in control. I gave one also to my Grandson. I told him no matter what he goes through call out to God and he will help him God Bless you all and you have a great product

I absolutely love it I carry it with me everywhere even out in the field during training. It's super durable and high quality

Theses rosaries are the best ever strong and beautiful very happy with rugged rosary

Not all weapons are made of steel. This rosary is top shelf!!!!

Once again you have delivered an outstanding rosary! I actually have four of your rosaries now, and all are works of art as well as durable.

I love the Crusader Rosary! It is very sturdy and nice for larger hands. Not to mention, it is very unique, especially when compared to most Rosaries.

These are my second pair... gave the first away as a gift. Love them...

Just got my black crusader rosary. Nicely made and sturdy. Will use this for many years to come.

Out standing rosary build quality is excellent and so is dealing with rugged rosary. Their customer service is top notch Would highly recommend them you won't be sorry

I am very pleased, I ordered them for my family for the holidays, and they are perfect! They are so holy, and so beautifully made, and I’m sure will be a family heirloom. :-)

Lighter than I had hoped. I will most likely switch out the beads for steel ones or something heavier. I prefer a heavier, more solid rosary. The plastic beads feel cheap.

I bought this rosary because I'm constantly busting rosaries in about everyway possible. This rosary appears to be rugged enough, with sturdy beads and solid knots. I also really like the style. The only vulnerable point I worry about is the hole at the top of the metal crucifix where the linkage is. I'm probably just paranoid, but I could imagine that bending and weakening if it got enough leverage on it. That said, I doubt this will ever break for the simple fact that it is unlikely to be my everyday carry; it's just too big to fit comfortably into my pants pocket. This is probably my fault for not thinking through how thick 550 Paracord is, but this is just too big for me. I'd love to see maybe a 275 Paracord rosary. I suspect it would be practically as tough and far more portable. Anyway, quality workmanship, durable design, nice style, too big. Four stars!

Got this rosary for my wife. Reminds us of the rosaries our teaching nuns used when we were young.

I bought this rosary for my son for his birthday after he saw mine and loved it. He couldn’t wait to pray on it! Thanks Rugged Rosary for making such great products!

My Crusaders rosary arrived in a timely fashion and is in great condition, getting a workout on my novenas
Thank you

A well made rosary, good size beads and top notch materials, nothing but great things to say.

I was quite stunned by the magnitude of this piece. A little overwhelmed by its size. But in a very short time I have come to love its look and feel. It has an ancient quality and a rawness that reminds me on a daily basis of the antiquity of the church, the bedrock of our faith and the power of the rosary. The chord and knots of which it is made, tie me to something greater. The weight of it is like an anchor that keeps me grounded. The beauty of it is like the prayer that is said on every bead. This rosary is not shy - it is bold and yet, humble. A banner for the Crusader's heart. I hope to carry it for many years.

Actually very durable. I can see this lasting me years to come. You can tell they have a system and it’s working.

My first rosary purchase from you and I’ve alrwady come back for a second. Excellent quality, size, and looks. Very pleased. My son has purchased also. We use them every day.

The Crusader Rosary is light weight yet strong! I own several paracord rosaries but this is the first rosary that has enough play in the beads so that you can easily finger through the beads. I carry this rosary with me and use it often whether at mass, adoration or at home. This is an awesome rosary that any guy would like and one they would enjoy praying with and carrying with them everyday.

Awesome!

My Crusaders Rosary is very awesome. I love it. When I ordered it, I requested the black version with a change of the black glossy bead for matte black beads and that the Our Father beads to be antique bronze metal. It came within a few days & the changes were exactly as I had requested. The Priest that blessed my Rosary kept saying how beautiful it was and was showing it to other parishioners as they walked by. This is my second Rugged Rosary and I will be getting more in the future. The workmanship on these are superb.
