I would like to present my entire collection of whips.

A big thanks goes to my friend Sarednab who has kindly created the photo collage.
If you have information or curiosity to ask me, do you have any questions.
Thank you.

Here is a list of the 18 whips in order as photos, from right to left.

Murphy 4ft
Del Carpio 8pt 8ft
Del Carpio 9ft
Pagey 10ft
Stenhouse 9ft
Strain 10ft
Strain 8ft
Schultz 16pt 6ft
Jacka Indy4 8ft
Jacka Indy4 10ft
Jacka Catwoman 6ft
Alex Green 8ft (by Strain)
Zorro 6ft (by Strain)
Morgan '09 8ft
Morgan '97 12ft
Celeste 10ft
Bernie 8ft
Ammann 8ft

I look forward to another 2 short whips.
Hopefully it was to your liking.

Thanks.
Emanuele

Amazing collection you have there. I take it that you are quite the master with a whip?

Do you collect other gear or props too?

I am awaiting a Delcarpio Raiders 10ft and can't wait. Bernardo is a true craftsman.

Very best

Thank you for taking your time to share this wonderful collection! I enjoyed seeing photos of the Zorro and Catwoman whips. I don't see them very often so it was nice to see.

Thanks Mark, Unfortunately I have too little time and space to spare, I also have family. I do a lot of practice Cracking
Currently collect only the whips, I allow only some prop in a while. :(

Thank you all for the compliments :)
Thanks to my friends Sarednab, Govanni Celeste, short round.

Thanks to Bernard (Del Carpio could not miss a whip in my collection)

Thanks also to Franco (Canuck Digger): For me it was a pleasure to post photos and share my collection with you all. and 'a long time I wanted to post photos, but I also expected because of continuous variations, yet the collection is stable, I have to wait for other arrivals such as Paul Nolan whip, Benjamin Scott ...
I am very proud of it.

For tomek9210: Telling a favorite is difficult but certainly at the top there is the Morgan '97 and Zorro whip, but not least the other ;-)

For Aldo (Marhala): Thank you, whip Schultz is a work of art, I wanted a 4 tones Dalu to break some of the colors whips though still in Indy style :)
:whip: :whip: :whip:

As I mentioned are also aspiring whip maker, soon I will show you also my first work done in cowhide :)

Thanks for the compliments BullWhipBorton.
The Indiana Jones and Zorro whip were my passions since I was 14 years.
Now I had the opportunity to have what I could have at that age.
