Kip Hide? Another hide used in Raiders?...

Post by ReturningSon »

I just heard that Kip Hide was possibly used for some of the whips in Raiders...Does anyone know about this or have I unearthed some secret? Perhaps a stunt whip?... :o

I'm sure that pic of Morgan holding one of his own whips is actually a picture of Morgan holding one of Bernardo's whips that Bernardo took with him on his first visit to Morgan's shop. :-k

You’re right moses. We used that photo more because it was the best one we had available of David holding an Indy (450 style) bullwhip, not so much because of the actual whip itself, though we tried to be careful not to say that it was made by David.
