No apologies; I am a whip novice. This is my first; but I could not have asked for more. (I now understand the visceral reaction prompted by a leather whip.)
Five foot, eight inches long. Four inches from butt to knot. Heavy, and obviously weighted. The butt end would easily make a stout club.
"Crackability," super easy. My wife is now grabbing the whip and cracking it in the house. Louder than a 22LR.
Kyle: Thank you! Everything you stated, and more!
Sincerely,

Beautiful!!! I love those little things... I'd love to get one, but the funding just isn't there.

Yes, they sure are! I have one of Kyle's pocket bullwhips from a few years back. It posed a challenge to me in that I was so used to cracking 8 footers. But I like challenges.
I really started to
enjoy my pocket bull after I read Tom Meadows' book and used his combat whip techniques with Kyle's whip. They are specific for a shorter whip like this and the applications opened up a whole new realm of enjoyment for me.
Thanks again, Kyle!

How much does one of those cost?

I've wanted one ever since Sergei put one in my hand at the first QM summit, but like McFly, I have never had the fundage at the time to purchase one for myself.
Regards! Michaelson

The total cost was $135.00. Did I note that a replacement fall and a "bunch" of replacement cracker/poppers were included.
For my needs, this seemed the most sensible and useful. Every night I walk the dog in a large city park. I now carry this small beauty with me, and basically get to "crack the whip," for an hour an evening. It is unlikely I could do the same with a full sized whip. I have no whip experience, yet multiple/rapid cracks are quite easy.
I have heard several shouts, from across the park, about "guns," and "firecrackers." Oh, well. Of course, there is also something reassuring about just having it handy; coyotes and stray dogs.
Sincerely,
