I never thought that my seemingly obvious absurd statement would be taken seriously...

I don't think it's that bad.
If you don't know the difference, then ignorance is bliss!
This whip would be fine for some, not just most of us!

If that's the finished product, it looks better than the preview images, and better than I thought it would. Still not worth the money, and I have no interest in it, but Neolithic is right.

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.

A great wall hanger, but It's $200 TOO MUCH. :shock: For $400 more I could get a Replica RAIDERS whip from one of the vendors on this board and it would actually be a REAL working whip.

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.

Thwak!

This cowhide monstrosity reminds me of my first bullwhip (8-plait orange cowhide w/ flat flapper-type fall), sans wooden swivel handle. Yecch! :x
