Hi Guys,
thought I'd show a few pics of the latest whip I made. Sorry about the poor quality pics, used my phone.

This is one of my 12 plait cow hide special offer whips. 8ft.

It's kip, isn't it? Very nice whip, properly cut strands, smooth plaiting.
Congrats!

Very nice great taper on that one. Do you use lead in the heel knot ? I know some makers do and others don´t. My Strain could also double as a bludgeon!

Cheers!

Thanks for the compliments guys. It is kip

and the handle is lead loaded. You could sure use this as a bludgeon

Regards

I buy it from Le Prevo and it comes in three thicknesses. 1mm, 1.2mm and 1.4mm. The 1.2mm hides are grade 3 so I never use those.
