Winrich 8 Foot Latigo Bullwhip

Post by Dengar »

A few days ago I received an 8 ft latigo bullwhip I ordered from Winrich Whips. I wanted to get a whip that was somewhat similar in color to the KOTCS whip. I didn't have the money for the screen accurate kangaroo hide so I went with the slightly reddish latigo. Latigo is one of the most durable/strongest leathers used for whips.

Wow! :shock: Very nice indeed. Is this his budget whip?
How does it feel in the hand, fairly balanced? It must crack with little effort from the wrist, huh? Looks great!

Cheers! :whip:

Nope, its not the budget whip. I was originally going to get the IOAB whip but opted for this one instead. The feel in my hand is great.

I haven't had a chance to crack it yet. I don't have a backyard because I live in an apartment so I'll need to find a safe place to try it out.

I like the color - I'm partial to darker whips. I hope you get to crack it soon. Congratulations on the new whip.

Happy cracking, :whip:
