Which is your favorite bullwhip?

Mississippi Jones · Post by **Mississippi Jones** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 1:44 pm

As we all know, in each of the 4 movies, the bullwhip changes...slightly. The Raiders is the light tan, the TOD is darker, and the LC is darkest. But the first 3 whips are of the same style, just different shades of brown. The KOTCS bullwhip is of a slightly different style and it seems to be two-toned in the "Indy House" video on indianajones.com .

So, I'm expecting the "Raiders whip" to be ahead in this poll, but I am curious to how many others like the other 3 bullwhips!

Please share your stories!

Thanks,
MJ

Having been lucky enough to not only see but be allowed to crack the KOTCS made by Chris Barr just yesterday, it's that one for me by far

I'm not going to vote for my wife, but she prefers the KotCS. Whenever I finish shellacing one that I've made in that style she comments that it's pretty.

Tis always wise to vote on the side of the wife, saves you a lot of worry as to if your ever going to get fed again

But now so is the KoTCS. Conundrum, no?

MJ, Whats a matter with you! This is like asking a parent who is their favorite child!

Still, Raiders being the oldest those whips will always have a special place and if I had to choose a favorite, that would be it. I am really likening the Crystal Skull whip though too.

It's gotta be the Raiders' whip for me! The first is always the best; or at least, it's left the most indelible impression. But, the KotCS whip is definitely growing on me, probably more so when my Jacka whip arrives from Aussie Stock Saddle in the next week or two!

I love all the gear affiliated with Raiders!

I am with Dan... I love all of my whips like they are my children. It's really an unfair question. They have all their positive attributes. And you must pursuit your own style.

Sorry, but... I’m totally on the KoTCS version!

Yeah, I know, you all gonna whip me now, right?

Funny no one have voted TOD so far!

I believe it's the KoTCS for me also.

For me only the Raiders.

There you go... A vote for TOD. I can't help it - the taper of the handle is a cool touch!

I like any style bullwhips but .... short .
If I want to use long whip , I use stockwhip

My favorite whip is the the one that I carry in my whip bag, (and occasionally on my belt.)

Yeah, Indy's whips are awesome, but I'll take mine, thanks... ;-)

(Though in terms of "On Screen," I have to say the Raiders whip is my favorite looking, flowing, etc. We'll see how I feel about that after I see Crystal Skull, as I'm already a Terry Jacka fan!)

Happy Cracking!

R-A-I-D-E-R-S!!!

It's got style and everything. The new one is not a bad whip per se, though I find the way the transition zone is built makes for an awkward looking whip that despite being made by an expert craftsman, lacks a certain easthetic ballance. It's like Jarjar Binks; it doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not going to argue the whys and becauses of this stylistic choice, it's just my opinion.
Cheers,

I like em' all myself bullwhips are just plain cool. Since I have to pick one though I like the TOD whip because I like the rugged red and dark browns that show up in it's color in the photos from the film... just the artist in me I think.
