Bernardo Del Carpio Goodness Has Arrived

Post by BroadSword »

I had to sell my first whip from Bernardo and I was spoiled after that. I had to have another one of his. Well, after a good wait I received my new whip from Bernardo today. It is a 10' 12plait whip. Bernardo made some adjustments to his existing Raiders whip to make it a bit more screen accurate, but I will leave the details to him to announce. I must say Bernardo was very professional in letting me know where things stood and what was causing delays. He's is a true master whip maker and I'm glad to have some of his work once again.

Absolutely beautiful. I was very fortunate to recently get a Bernardo whip (8ft, 12pl) and I love it. Mine has a bit more 'age' to it and it is just incredible. Enjoy this beauty and watch it age perfectly!

AH ye old package day, with an international shipping label! Gotta love it when things come from afar!

I too own a 10' Bernardo and when I am "in the zone" it just sings in my hands.

Looks like you have a fantastic new treasure, now enough posting and go crack it!!

I'm a huge fan of Bernardo's work!

This whip looks like an exact copy of my 9' Raiders whip!

Congratulations, my friend! You are gonna love this thing!
