From falls & poppers to plaiting & cracking technique, this section is dedicated in memory of Sergei, IndyGear Staff Member and Whip Guru. Always remember to keep "Celebratin' Life!"
Hello everyone,
I was a bit absent, I'm sorry. But between family and various commitments, I have less time to devote to whips and forums lately.
As many know, I occasionally make whips, mostly in Cowhide or Kiphide, occasionally also in Roohide.
I would like to share with you some of the Indy style bullwhips which I have done in recent years.
I hope the photos are of your own liking
I can highly recommend Emanuele's work. I have owned his Indy kiphide whip, I own his target kiphide bullwhip and I have cracked few more. They are totally awesome. Plaiting is tight and strand drops are clean. Indy whips are very screen accurate, heavy, as I like them. And the order is customizable and in the end you get what you want.
My God, that Last Crusade bullwhip is masterful. I love the chocolate brown ring knot above the handle! What a gorgeous whip! They ALL are, but that LC is beautiful...

I'd love to, but I just purchased a new AdVintage LC custom, a Wested LC Hero, and I'm on the list for Azuma's upcoming LC shirt, so my Indy gear budget is maxed out! But I have an original DM #453 with short handle, which looks fairly close to the LC bullwhip, so it's all good.
Oh yes, and the Zorro whip. But yeah, my gear budget is pretty much blown for this year, and I need to get back to saving money again. But Lelec does make very nice bullwhips! Any Indy fan should be proud to own one!

Many thanks Tenas!
Yes, I remember..
When you can, I'll be happy to do a ToD for you
Lelec, you should be right up there with the very famous makers!
Thank you so much Bearbeast!
However I don't consider myself a famous maker, I'm a part-time whipmaker, but even if I do a few whips a year, I hope to improve more and more
