We are honored to be an officially licensed supplier for Knights of Columbus rosaries. These WWI combat style rosary versions are handmade daily in the Rugged Rosaries workshop.
WWI Battle Beads are inspired by the pull-chain combat rosaries distributed to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. Our thoughtful reproduction of the original vintage combat rosaries is a close duplication with the addition of the emblem of the Knights of Columbus. You can carry it proudly as your Spiritual Weapon!
These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The Rugged Rosaries' WWI design feels natural and strong in your hands.
Please see the reviews below for our WWI Battle Beads... You will LOVE this rosary.
A portion of all Knights of Columbus sales goes directly to the Knights of Columbus Warriors to Lourdes program. We also donate these rosaries for that same program every year.
Exactly what you need. Sturdy amd not to bulky, solid links and good handfeel. Would reccomend
I’ve ordered multiple rosaries from this company in the past, and they never disappoint. The quality is excellent, and the option to attach extra medals is a great feature. I carry this around in my pocket frequently (rotating between my many other rosaries I’ve collected).
Tha antique WWI Service Rosary is an excellent buy. Tough and well made, even the cylindrical case it comes in is tough.
Well done Rugged Rosaries.
I am a construction worker with big hands. I wanted a Rosary for daily carry that has large beads that would not get lost in my fingers while praying. My other Rosary had very “dainty” plastic beads and just did not feel right in my hands. My battle beads go in my pocket first thing in the morning and I actually look forward to using them.
Fantastic quality!!!
I have given a total of 11Rugged Rosaries as gifts to my Brother Knights. They have been totally impressed with their rosaries. Also I gave one to my wife and she loves it. It was a calling to give the rugged rosaries to my Brother Knights and friends. Thank you and God bless you all.
To explain how great this company is you would have to first buy a rugged rosary. Then as you’re waiting for your second rugged rosary to arrive you can leave a review on the first one. I think up-to-date I have now bought about seven of them and I am buying more this week as gifts for people I care about. My 13-year-old son was baptized by me personally and I put the world war rugged rosary around his neck right after blessing him with holy water. One catholic can baptize another Catholic and so it was done. This world war rosary Bead necklace Ken and Will for sure one day be a family heirloom. My nine month old daughter also has one but I got her the one with the yellow/orangeish para cord with the sunflower
Charm and that hangs above her bed. I also sent them in my own personal Sterling silver Cross and some silver skull beads and awaiting their creation with those items. You will never find another company like this. I’m sure as I type this review there’s some pretty **** people out there that are probably gonna copy the work of these people and sell a far less superior product but that’s to be expected when you make something awesome. People are gonna copy you. I know at least five of my friends that have bought from this company too or active duty deployed marines that carry these rosaries in their pocket and I feel very good for their safety knowing that I’m the one that put them around their neck. You people better get right with the Lord because the end of days are just about here you can believe what you want I really don’t care what you believe but I hope you believe. Thank you guys for making such a great product I will be buying more. God bless and simplify
The Floral WWI Battle Beads Rosary is truly beautiful. I especially appreciate that this rosary does not tangle; it is well-made. I watched two YouTube videos about Flora Sandes and her military service during WWI. This rosary is named in her memory.
