My apologies for the ebay link. Thanks for pasting the pic. I trimmed the fall a bit but I'm gonna go a bit thinner. Should the fall itself taper? Thanks for the other info.

I bought a bullwhip on ebay that looked decent for the price. It is plaited nicely, at least on the outside, but feels quite light. I understand that any skimping is often done on the inside.
