Just saw it today in my new indy magazine. It didnt look like anything more than a belt hanger, but still I hadnt heard about it on this board yet, and I get all my news from you guys:)
Seems like a Master Replicas kind of thing...something to show someone, and because its got a certificate and a box, people oo and aaah more than if you took out your 1000 dollar roo hide whip from down under and said this is an exact replica.

Re: Noble whip? what is this?
A few more photos of the Noble Collection "official Indiana Jones bullwhip" have surfaced, so I figured I’d re post them here for those who might be interested in them.
I have no idea how these bullwhips handle or the over all quality, but based on the photos I think it looks a little better then the original publicity photos. With that said I still have a feeling these are better left as collectable memorabilia.

The transition knot looks almost bigger than the Turks head knot. Looks like an 8 plait ending in four. Way to expensive for what it is. For a few bux more you can get something alot better from a reputable maker.

Reminds me of a Todd's deluxe
Re: Noble whip? what is this?
This cowhide monstrosity reminds me of my first bullwhip (8-plait orange cowhide w/ flat flapper-type fall), sans wooden swivel handle. Yecch!
