Monkey Knuckles

Monkey Knuckles is a skill toy consisting of two sliding wooden balls on a string, with end stoppers that allow the player to grip the toy.[1] The toy can be manipulated in a variety of ways to perform tricks, and depending on the way that the player grasps and manipulates the toy, different styles of play are possible.[2] Monkey Knuckles was developed by Matthew Hiebert,[1] and was patented in 2006.[3] In 2013 Hiebert licensed the design to Yomega Corp., which took over its manufacturing and distribution.[1] In 2015, Kuma Films released a YouTube video featuring Monkey Knuckles.
