I've been wanting to get one of these ever since they started offering them a few years back. It says they have plaited underbellies, pretty good for as cheaper whip, and the red-hide ought to wear like iron. Looks nice too, short handle, austrailian style.
Sounds like a good whip to beat the ---- out of, what do you think?
Thanks,

If you already have a good kangaroo bullwhip in the Indy style, then this may be good for getting beat up, if that's what you are going to do with it. If you want a good whip, make sure you own a well made kangaroo bullwhip. There are plenty of whipmakers on COW whom many are well recommended. If it takes time to save your nickles and dimes, then do so. You will do yourself a favor when you do and you will be much happier.
Again, if you already have a very well made kangaroo bullwhip in the Indy style, get a redhide or nylon that you could take on concrete, rocky areas, etc that you don't have to worry as much about as you would with a roo.

Good advice! And exactly why I was asking. I've got a 12 foot Morgan and two Indy style from Mark Allen, a 6 and a 10. I hate to beat them up. The 6 foot has become my favorite, as it's easy to keep it off the ground when cracking.
One of my first whips was a Cattle Baron Leather company "Adventurers" whip, and the leather could really take a beating. I got it when I was 10 or 11, and did not treat it as well as I should have . I cracked it again a little while ago, and the lack of plaited underbellies made it...not perform as well as the others
Thanks,
