How long is it? What color is it? Nice whip, but I don't like double checkerboard on nylon Indy whips, just personal taste.

Have you noticed that on his website - "The transition knot is a dark brown, not black like most whip makers use for their Indy whips. "
Personally I haven't never seen any black ringknot on Indy bullwhip. What about you, guys?

He must be refering to the CS whip, not the ROLA
