Whip makers in EU ?

Post by Jonesy Jr. »

Hello
Does anyone know some whip makers inside European Union ?
I would like custom made Indy style leather bullwhip.
The price should not be expensive.

Regards

Cheers,

There are two:

and

https://www.witchcraftwhips.se/

They work full-time. Both are well known for great whips. You won't be disappointed.

What's your budget though? Roohide whips are pretty expensive and no whipmaker I know currently offers cheaper alternative of cowhide whips.

These look very good, but too expensive right now. I was thinking about up to 200 euro. It does not need to be very high quality. I would only like that it's 12 plait and that it has it's core made from strong rope.

You won't get a quality whip for that amount of money. Only a costume piece like Todd's costumes whip or Magnoli clothiers whip.

If you want a quality whip you either need to save more money or get a Paracord whip.

I guess I will wait for now :)
Maybe I will even get a piece of real leather for way under 200 euros and make one myself.

If you want to try to make your own, you could start with paracord. It is easier to learn and most of the skills are easily carried over to leather whips. :-k

Thanks for advice.
Also I noticed there are good threads here on COW about making whips. I will check them out.
