)Several months ago, I contacted Joe about doing a whip with a metal band, similar to the Alex Green/Zorr whips, but we wanted to do something completely unique... something no one has ever seen before.
The whip is basically one of his 6 Ft Australian style bullwhips, but with some noticable changes. Obviously he did some patterns in the handle and the knots feature Saddle Tan highlights.
We decided to use copper because we felt that as it ages, it will closely match and compliment the natural and saddle tan leather as it ages as well.
The copper band is engraved my my Musashi Dragon head logo that can be found on other items of mine as well. The copper cap on the end of the butt knot features a stylized "S" initial which was designed by a swordmaker friend of mine.
Joe has just shipped this whip so i will report more once it arrives.
