Josh, I have an ecwhip that is styled similar to Kyle's pocket bull that I'm planning to sell soon. Let me know if you're interested. It's the one I carried in Hollywood back in June 2003.

Dear Josh,

Kyle "The_Edge" is the guy who made the first pocket bull as we know it. He's the guy to go to if you want that exact style, which I'm figuring is what you are after.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a snake whip, or very short bullwhip with a regular length handle, you've got tons of options.

While I've coiled an 8 foot bullwhip I made in a MKVI bag, the pocket bull will fit better!



Best Regards,

Paul Stenhouse

Although I haven't held it in my hands yet, Kyle just finished this pocket bull for me:

It looks beautiful and I can't wait to try it out...

Hey Kyle,

are you setting the "ring knot" out furthur than you used to? It seems the "diamond braid" portion of the handle is longer than it used to be.

On this one, yes. No big deal. The biggest change with this whip (and the one before it) is a new improved shot bag. This whip practically cracks itself and I was sad to see it go.

It's always nice for the customer to hear that the maker was sad to see his creation go. ;) I know the feeling!

I still won't see this whip in my hands for over a week. I can't wait to have a play with it.

Kind regards,
