New Zorro Nylon Whip

Post by Gorak »

This has been in my possession since before Christmas but I have just barely had the time to post about it. It was in the Bizzare and, after it disappeared, I contacted Tomek, who made it to see if he still had it. He did and so I purchased it from him.

Tomek makes some really nice whips. This particular one is very cool to look at. The colors and ring are very cool and give it a very 'tough but elegant' look. It does seem to be something a hero like Zorro would carry.
It is somewhat heavy and feels very intimidating when I wield it. But once I get it going, the weight rolls out along the whip nicely and seems to dissappear. And, exciting for me, this is the first time that I ever did a 'volley'. Comes along very smooth with this design of whip. I have used whips for years but, coming from Seagal`s Methodology of Aikido, I trained mainly for practicaly. It is only recently that I have begun to 'play' and try out routines and all and this whip is the perfect vehicle for that. I believe Tomek is on hiatus for whip making but he has some great prices and does some fabulous work and I highly reccommend him should he get back to work.

Thanks for a review Hector! We're waiting for super-duper video now!
Yep, I'm on hiatus for whipmaking, but I have made one whip during Xmas break and I will put it soon in the Cairo Bazaar. It's 7ft target bullwhip in yellow and black, stay tuned for pics!
