My new Strain custom Indy/Zorro hybrid whip

Post by DJN »

Just arrived today and wanted to share - the latest addition to my collection from the artist in Idaho.

A little over 7' in black - with the longer Zorro like handle - ring knots in black and saddle tan - custom engraved silver ferrule and Indy style butt knot.

I'll take and post some better pics in daylight so you can see it better and make out the silver work as well.

Needless to say, I'm a happy boy.
I already have Joe at work on my next custom job. I'm gonna have to put him on retainer soon.

Very nice whip! Joe always does a great job. I like the Zorro whips too. Looks really nice. Indy/Zorro hybrid whip is a great idea. Two nice whips in one! Enjoy it :)

That whip is 100% Awesome Sauce!!!
The handle, the ferrul, the knots, it all blends so well together! :clap:

I've been jonesin' for a black whip myself lately.
Maybe a Zorro style, or a young Indy style, or maybe even a Catwoman (Batman Returns style). Just can't decide :-k

This is such a neat whip. I can't believe I've never seen something like this before. I've toyed with the notion of getting a whip with the double ring knots and the engraved ring. But to truly combine it with an Indy whip is very cool!

Now that is VERY inventive! :TOH: I like it! Of course I always love to see Joe's creations. His work is uncanny, my whip is over 2 years old now and still looks like it is brand new.


Crack On! :whip:
