This compact all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable. It has a meaningful history, as it is a replica of the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. If feels weighty and powerful in your hands. This is one of those rosaries that makes you want to pray!
These rosaries are quite strong, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. This design has slightly larger Our Father beads to aid your meditative prayer. You can feel where you are on the rosary without looking at it. The chains are brass with a beautiful nickel-free silver patina and designed to be tangle-free and snag-free.
Your rosary may be customized with up to 4 optional devotional medals.
At 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket, but we do include a small round box for presentation and storage.

I have a perfectly lovely Rosary that I've had for years, but I wanted an additional one that could withstand being carried in my work backpack without worrying that the delicate chain links would break. I'm grateful to the various Catholic Reddit threads who guided me toward Rugged Rosaries. So may options. What a blessing! The Floral Version of the Battle Bead Rosary is beautiful and robust. I like that it has some weight to it but still moves easily through my hands. I also ordered the Elegant Handcrafted Natural Wooden Catholic Rosary and the Knights of Columbus Battle Beads Pocket Rosary Gunmetal version for my brother for Father's Day. It arrived on Friday and he had it blessed at Mass on Sunday. He loved it! I couldn't be happier with my order, delivery time, and the additional "goodies" that RR included. Thank you!
Feels solid but also looks cheap and clunky
I have been praying with this rosary for over a year now. One of my fellow Knights asked if I could order “Battle Beads” for him as well. I rec’d my rosary as a gift from Supreme.
My only concern is that the landed price for “Battle Beads” was more than 70.00 Canadian. This is a high price to pay for a quality rosary that will last a lifetime.
Somehow the total cost needs to come down.
My concern is that the price will restrict who May order this wonderful rosary.
I am very pleased with these Rosary beads. It is well made, simple, sturdy and reassuring to hold. I also think it is aesthetically pleasing but we all have our preferences. Thank you for making it.
I have bought 7 rosary’s and they have all been perfect. They are compact enough to carry every day and big enough my fat fingers can feel every bead. When I have bought one or shown one to a friend they are all amazed about how well priced they are for the exceptional quality. I won’t buy another brand.
I’ve bought many Rosaries from RuggedRosaries and love them all!
Thank you to everyone at Rugged Rosaries. I was extremely satisfied at the beauty and quality of my WWI Battle Beads Memento Mori Gunmetal Patina rosary. Because of the complements I’ve received about both of the rosaries I’ve purchased, I’ve been able to talk to a few people about praying the rosary. They’ve been a blessing! Both rosaries I’ve purchased were custom and the service the service was exceptional. Thank you again and God bless!
Just beautiful!
