Great product at a reasonable price
My Knights of Columbus WW I battle beads rosary in gunmetal is an excellent product at a great price. Delivered quickly and the extra prayer card,finger rosary that can be put on a chain and other free products make it an even greater purchase.

KofC silver Rosary
I have bought other rosaries from Rugged Rosary before. Great quality all around. The KofC rosary I just purchased are by far my favorite. They are HEAVY DUTY! They should last me a long long time. I should never need another rosary again! They are plainly PERFECT!

Perfect!
I purchased a rosary for my Dad who prays at least one daily. I can’t wait to give it to him. It looks great and feels so sturdy, quality is amazing. Now he can carry it with him where ever he goes inside or outdoors without fear of breaking it.

Blessed
This is the third rosary I bought and I just ordered the 4th. I accidentally purchased the wrong rosary the last time. The return and exchange process was easy and quick. The customer service representative was great to work with. I’m not just happy with these rosaries - I am blessed!!

Inspirational
My brother had one of these rosaries and I was so impressed by the workmanship and history behind it that I wanted to get my husband one for Christmas. Battle beads is a fitting name for these because they are obviously very strong, but more so because it is the choice weapon against the evil of our time. Our Lady asks us to pray the rosary every day, and that is good enough for me. I chose the St. Benedict cross and it is very nice! The detail of the St. Benedict medallion and Miraculous medal scapular is exquisite. I like the weight of these beads. The length is perfect too. It is not too long or too short. It came in a little protective tin which was nice along with some prayer cards. It is also reassuring that if I have a problem with it, the company will fix or replace it. I am very happy with my purchase and am positive my husband will be too. I may be ordering one for myself because I get tired of having to fix my rosary.

Quality products
The rosary I ordered from Rugger Rosaries is great quality with attention to detail that clearly shows that creating great products for people to pray well, and give glory to God, is their goal versus just moving product solely for business and personal gain.
Thank you!

WW1 Gun Metal Gray Memento Mori Rosary
This is my 2nd RR purchase. I returned my 1st as that rosary was too bulky for me. The WW1 metal rosary is perfect. The decade and smaller chain beads are all hallow which allow the connecting stems to "retreat" into them, thus allowing the rosary to compact itself nicely as it goes into your pocket. It appears quite sturdy, and there is always the RR guarantee. I opted for the Memento Mori skull above the Crucifix. The skull spins freely. The Crucifix is beautiful, ornate, but not too large. Quite a bit of detail. This is my go-to traveling rosary. I have zero concerns about it getting damaged. I've never seen a rosary like this one and would easily recommend to anyone. It has a very masculine appearance and weight about it. It feels in the hand like the weapon that it is. As a veteran I appreciate the military background of the design. I waited too long to buy one.

Love this rosary! I was looking for a meaningful gift for my Husband and this took the cake. He was completely surprised and loved it. Well crafted and I would definitely buy another one.
Anthony Livingston said:
Another fine product.
Like the others I purchased from you it's money well spent. This one really shines and brightens me up when the light is down low. Has a good solid feel to it. I can use it when driving and keep my attention on the road.

Mother loved the rosary bracelet, I love my battle beads
I’ve bought about 10 different rosaries over the last 2 years here, and they have all been beautiful and of excellent quality.

Great Quality Rosary
Nothing more I can say that other reviews have already said about the great quality of the WWI Battle Beads. Customer support is just as great. Highly recommended.
Arturo Munoz said:
Will buy again
3 rd one I bought for gifting purposes after I got compliments on my KOC one, if you someone that where's a rosary like my self it's great and reliable but can snag and may break, but can easily be fixed if you know what your doing.
Colton said:
Truly Awesome!
I absolutely love my WW1 metal rosary! It looks masculine and is completely fitting for a "rugged rosary." Great quality, would highly recommend.

Favorite Christmas Present
This is the second WWI Battle Beads I’ve ordered because lately I’ve been wanting the more feminine version for my every day carry. I still love my first WWI Battle Beads (St. Benedict Cross + Miraculous Medal + 3 saint medals) and this would be kept on my bedside for those nights when I get nightmares. So for Christmas, I’ve asked my husband I wanted the Floral version WWI Battle Beads and it is very beautiful and just as well-made and sturdy as my first one but without the extra saint medals and I can’t wait to unwrap it and start using it on Christmas morning.
Theophilus Floyd said:
Wonderful Custom Order!
Custom ordered a 15 decade rosary with Memento Mori Skill and KofC centerpiece. The price was very reasonable, and had it in hand three days later, one of those days being Thanksgiving. I didn't order fast shipping, but they got it to me to enable me to start using it fast. High quality and I highly recommend!
Everly said:
Better than the combat rosary from another company
I purchased a rosary similar to this one from another company earlier this year and they took 2 months to ship it to me. I finally received it and it had some flawed spacing in the beads and broke apart the very first week I had it. They did not answer any of the emails or facebook messages that I sent to them. I will not mention the other company name but this rosary I purchased from Rugged Rosaries is far better in quality and is slightly different in style with perfect beads. I got it in my mailbox only 3 days after I ordered it!! Highly recommend RR and will tell my friends. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your comparison review. Providing the best customer service is one of our company directives so we ship fast and help every customer that reaches out to us. Thanks again.

Recipients will not be disappointed!
I have purchased five Battle Bead rosaries over the past two years, each customized for the intended recipient. One for myself - with Divine Mercy, Miraculous medal, Guardian Angel, and Sacred Heart medals attached. One for each of my sons with Divine Mercy, Miraculous medal, and patron saint medals. One for a friend whom I was accompanying in his battle against cancer with Saint Peregrine, Divine Mercy, and Miraculous medals attached. Most recently for a fellow member of The Kings Men (who usually showed up at meetings with a broken rosary) with the Divine Mercy, Miraculous medal, and Sacred Heart medals.
100% satisfaction by all! The double loops used to attach medals never come loose unexpectedly! They look good and receive compliments from others; men who are uncomfortable with most rosaries freely pray their Battle Beads in public. No more broken or forgotten rosary at our men’s meeting either and a GREAT way to remindi my sons to pray the Rosary when we speak or meet: “How’s the Rosary working out?”
Concerning rosary beads, I’m known for remarking: ”Don’t be caught dead without them!” I always have them with me, the case is showing wear but my Rosary still looks brand-new!

An Incredible Ministry - and Beautiful Rosaries
This is the second time I purchased the WWI Battle Beads and words simply cannot convey the joy they bring. As a priest, I have bought them for myself, but I'm never able to hold on to them. They become give-aways for people who either don't have rosaries or who need something special in their lives. This rosary has brought tears to those who received them and a smile on my soul knowing it will last them their lifetimes. I've also bought corded habit rosaries for myself and my brothers and have yet to break one. They are as sturdy as they are wondrous to behold.
Thank you R.R., for an incredible ministry and for the smiles you bring to the receivers of your rosaries. I look forward to future purchases.

Even better in real life!
The floral WWI rosary is gorgeous. It's a nice weight that feels good in the hands. The beads are smooth and well spaced for praying. Even though it is a substantial rosary, it fits on my small pocket and doesn't get tangled. It is a wonderful set of beads to pray with.
Barry Cullum said:
The name says it all
I have gone through so many Rosaries because I keep it in my pocket all the time. this is a durable Rosary and it has weight to it. It is strong and the beads won't break! I love it!
MPG said:
Beautiful rosary
This is a well-crafted, elegant, and sturdy rosary. The floral detail on the crucifix is really lovely. I thoroughly appreciated the complimentary extras included with the order (mine came with a nice paper ornament and prayer cards.) RR has wonderful customer service - this particular item was on back order and I received an email the moment it became available.

Best Rosary I ever bought
I been costumer since 2016 ,and I been buying diferent rosaries and devotional religious items ,but this one is for me the best rosary a ever bouth ,the design ,the quality is perfect the medal design just love it. Really nice piece of work guys. Again the best rosaries ever
German De La Mora said:
Very well made.
I wear my rosarie daily, not as a fashion statement but as a symbol to myself of my faith, and due to my job where i work at that not everyday is gauranteed. Overall it was totally worth the price, has not broken, changed or faded metal, no green markings on my neck. I have been completly soaked in water and still these rosaries have a reason they are known as rugged rosaries. Get one for yourself and one for everyone in your family. Even the extra items with the rosarie is so detailed and amazing. God bless Rugged Rosaries.
Baldy said:
Great Product
I purchased one as a gift and one for myself. The Rosary along with the patches are simply amazing. I have showed off the rosary and others have already looked into ordering them. Thank you Rugged Rosary's for all your hard work on these products.

buying gifts for family and friends!
Daniel S said:
Exceeded my Expectations
I cannot tell you how pleased I am with my purchase. Other rosaries I have purchased from around the elks have broke and then you become too scared to use them , not rugged rosaries. Amazing quality, it is really truly beautiful ! When the Christmas rush is over I will be hitting them up for a custom Padre Pio chaplet for sure !
Robert Boni said:
Perfect
Rosaries are exactly as described and came in very quickly. I especially appreciate being able to "customize" the rosaries for the Knights of Columbus. You will not regret getting these rosaries.

Gift but I like it
I bought this to be a Christmas gift but... of course I opened it,carefully. I really love the color. It feels good in my hand. My husband loved it so I may get another one.
David Cramer said:
Finally a rosary to be proud of.
I purchased this rosary for myself. I converted to Catholicism 26 years ago, but I've been "Catholic-lite". My new priest has inspired me to be a "little more Catholic". So I'm doing the sign of the cross and praying before my meals in public, FINALLY teaching my tired, old knees to genuflect, and now I've decided to learn to pray the rosary. I've picked up (and lost) cheap plastic rosaries here and there in the past, but I'd only prayed the rosary once, the day my mother went into a coma while in hospice care two days before she passed away. This one, the Battle Beads with Pardon Crucifix, is beautiful, and I had the St. Christopher and St. Michael medals attached (in honor of my son and grandson). I feel proud carrying it around with me. I haven't memorized all of the prayers yet (the Apostles Creed or Hail, Holy Queen), nor the mysteries, but I have a cheat sheet for those prayers, and for now I am substituting my own intentions for the mysteries. I love the metal beads, it's easy to keep track of where I am in the prayers with my eyes closed. Praying for a different intentions each decade has opened up my own prayer life. I'm used to saying a short, quick prayer each night, but after praying each decade my own prayers seem to flow out of me a little easier. Perhaps I can work my way up to praying the traditional rosary someday, but right now I'm very happy with what I'm doing now. Thanks for building me a rosary I'm comfortable carrying around with me.

Gift
It is a Christmas gift for my husband. He rarely asks for anything except a card, but wanted this rosary after seeing one at church. I'm excited for him to see it! Thank you very much!
D said:
Great!
I got it as a gift for a friend and I think he's gonna love it! It's beautifully made, it's strong, and I love not only the tin but the leather pouch it comes in. I was scared it would smell like loose change because it's made of metal, but it's fine. 10/10, would recommend.
Katie D said:
Excellent quality, love the customization options
Very well made Rosary, not lightweight by any means. I love that you can add a saint medal as well. Thanks!
Robin Doris said:
So happy with this purchase, it's beautiful and the quality is fantastic. I was especially happy with the packaging and the cards inside --would have been great if it was for a gift but since it was for me I enjoyed it myself! I would definitely recommend this company and this item

I love my 20-Decade Rosary
I recently ordered a 20-Decade Rosary and it arrived on time in the mail. I am totally enjoying praying with this rosary since I received it 4 days ago. It is really well made and it holds the 4 extra medals without a problem. I highly recommend Rugged Rosary if you are thinking about getting a rosary. I know that if you have any questions, someone from the company will get back to you in a reasonable amount of time. I look forward to many years of praying with my new rosary....And by the way.....I have purchased a total of 4 rosaries in the past year, and I am satisfied with each of them.

WW1 Battle Beads Very Sturdy
This is the second WW1 Battle Beads Rosary I have purchased. I lost the first one but it served me well while I was in possession of it. The one I just ordered was perfectly assembled and is very sturdy, not to mention beautiful. So many of the rosaries I have owned in the past broke apart. I'm glad I found a company that makes rosaries that should last a lifetime!

Great Rosary
It appears to be well made, time will tell how well it wears. I love everything about it; the gunmetal color, the weight, size and tangle free design. If I could change one thing I would love to see the Knight emblem on one side and one of the other medals on the other side.
Every Knee Shall Bow said:
Excellent!
Rosaries are exactly as promised. Robust build and helpful containers for carrying them around. Would recommend this to anyone.

I love my rosary! I've had others before that were very fragile and broke easily. I've been caring mine with me everyday since I received it and you can tell it is very durable/rugged. I love everything about it.
Brett Coleman said:
High Quality Worth Price
My Rugged Rosary is very nice and seems to be exceptionally well crafted. I purchased this based on the advertised "rugged" aspect. This particular rosary will be going with me when we hike the last 100+ miles of the Camino de Santiago trail in 2020. I wanted something that could be used often and didn't want to worry about handling it gingerly. It will spend plenty of time in my pocket or backpack. If it works out...which I think it will...maybe I'll give one to my brother-in-law who is a priest.
