Budget Bullwhips

Post by baddates1 »

Hey guys, so I haven't received an answer from Classicbullwhips.com whether they're still in business, and their facebook page's last post was from a few years ago. I tried messaging there too but haven't gotten any sign of activity.

So what drew me to them was their pricing for a good quality budget whip, which was $250 for a high quality cowhide/kip indy whip. I've only heard good things about them from Dr. Nebraska on here, and they look excellent.

Does anyone know if any current vendors provide a good alternative for a well made, leather (kangaroo or cowhide), Indy whip that looks good, cracks well, but doesn't break the bank? Seriously, I'm trying to help my parents find out a good option (I'm currently a college student).

Check lelecwhips. Emanuele is an Italian whipmaker. He plaits whips from both roo and kip. Contact is a pleasure. Prices are affordable and the quality is amazing. I highly recommend his whips!

Sweet. Do you have one of his whips? What's the overall feel of it? Does it crack well?

Yes, I have 7ft target whip made from kip. Very fluid, easy cracking whip. I also had 10ft Indy whip from kip, but I sold it to fund other whips.
Contact Emanuele and talk about order :TOH:
