SHOP CASE KNIVESForged with myth and menace, the Schmuckatelli Co. "Aquilo" Sugar Roman Brass Oxidized Skull Bead channels the brutal spirit of the north wind itself. Named after Aquilo—the Roman personification of the frigid northern gales—this bead isn’t just a piece of gear; it’s a symbol of relentless power, endurance, and the cold, unforgiving bite of the wild.
Crafted from durable pewter and finished in a striking brass oxidation, the Aquilo Skull Bead carries a deep, weathered patina that speaks to its rugged, battle-worn aesthetic. The oxidized brass look adds an old-world, almost ancient energy, as if this skull had been pulled from the ruins of a long-lost empire. It’s bold, it’s brutal, and it doesn’t apologize.
Measuring 19/32" long, 1/2" wide, and 15/32" high, it’s compact but makes a strong visual impact. With a 3/16" hole size, it threads easily onto lanyards, zipper pulls, and paracord for use on knives, keychains, flashlights, or any piece of gear you want to make unmistakably your own. It’s the kind of detail that separates everyday tools from personalized, battle-ready setups.
The Aquilo Skull is more than just an accessory—it tells a story. The etched lines, defined contours, and cold stare serve as a reminder that nature doesn’t negotiate. Wind, snow, ice, and ruin—this bead represents them all. Whether you're outfitting a custom fixed blade or upgrading your everyday carry, the Aquilo bead adds weight, presence, and purpose to your gear.
Built in the USA by Schmuckatelli Co., a name synonymous with high-quality, handmade beads, this piece reflects serious craftsmanship and an unmistakable attitude. It’s not for everyone—and that’s the point. Order it today from SMKW!
