My first! Adam's 8 ft IOAB

Post by Ken-Obi Wanabi »

Look what I got in the mail yesterday. I can't wait to get cracking! Thanks Adam!

The bag is a MKVII I got from WPG a couple months ago... had to get a pic of the two together. :)

And they get better with age and use! I have the prototype whip and that thing cracks like a charm. Congrats on your purchase!

I had one of these...for about a minute (!!) and for some reason I could crack it a lot better than I could my David Morgan (?)

It is VERY well made, and I do hope to get another one some day. Enjoy it. and use it lots! The more you use it, the better it'll be!

Heh - the cracker is now a bit more frayed than in the photos. :)

Since I live in the 'burbs, I don't want to be a bad neighbor and really crack the thing, but I'm very pleased to report that I did some "quieter" cracks with it this afternoon. I'm going to have too much fun with this.

That's great Ken, I just got my IOAB on the 15th. I had one made with the dark ring knot at the handle. Hope to work with it when the weather clears a bit. BTW Anyone know if crackin' in cold weather is detrimental to the whip leather?
