Budo Beads construction and layout ~

Budo Beads are constructed in a traditional Tibetan Mala Bead count of 108 beads plus a guru bead. Budo Beads are made of hardwood beads and stainless steel beads with 275 paracord! Beads and knots count to total 108. The spacer beads, which are the big beads and steel beads in between them, count as one bead within the 108.

Your Budo Beads are made up of four sections. The actual bead count between all four sections is 13, 13, 12, and 13. There are three spacer bead sections consisting of three maple beads, one bead per section with two steel beads per section. The rest of the 108 count are the traditional knots, which also provide for a sturdy construction through the paracord to allow them to be used for self-defense as well as meditation. At the end of your Budo Beads are the guru beads, which consists of one big bead, another bead slightly smaller, and six steel beads
