Tomek's nylon whip

Post by kooniu »

Whips is perfect plait, heavy and very noise cracking, I have 7' bullwhip whith 12" handle - IMHO the best for general cracking and targeting work - this whip work like myself made bull from cow hide.

Nice looking whip! :TOH: I like the fancy two color plaiting. That whip in the middle has a Streets of Cairo look to it, doesn't it? ;)

OK, wait. I don't spend much time in the whip section, and almost never look at stuff about nylon whips. Are you telling me that BOTH whips in that photo are nylon!?! :-s

Brown and black one is paracord whip and that blue and red is polypropylene whip, not as nice as paracord to work with, but still very strong stuff. Only my fingers don't like it :)

I really like the black and brown. I didn't think I'd ever see a nylon whip I liked, but this one has got me thinking. Especially since my whip cracking time is generally cut in half because of wet grass! :x

What colors of paracord do you have to work with?

That's what led me to starting with nylon whips. The one Rhett Kelley made me is frequently mistaken for leather. Details and linked pics over in this thread:

http://www.nylon.whips.pl/galeriabull.html - at the bottom of the page you can see more pics of that bullwhip, and some my other whips.
Chewbacca - nylon whips are perfect for such weather. Just dry them after cracking in wet grass and voila :)

When you say "dry it," you mean let it dry naturally in open air, right?

Yes, just let it dry naturally. Don't forget about greasing fall, if it's leather one.

Man that really does look like a leather whip in the picture. I am personally a big fan of nylon whips. They crack great and I can use them at any time with really no regards to the weather.

Happy cracking, :whip:
