Jo and Dave sell good quality and excellent quality whips.
For example they represent whips made by Michael Murphy, DT King, Victor Tella, Scott Martin etc.

Are you European?

Yes , I live in the Netherlands.
It is not easy to find shops who sell bullwhips in Europe.
Maybe this one in the UK is a good choice.

Thanks for your reply

Okay Misek!
We are nearly neighbours then...
I live in Finland! :)

Jo and Dave sell good whips but the price is the question...
For me it is not that much cheaper to buy straight from USA or Australia.

BTW if you are looking for good natural tan roohide Indy bullwhip,
I have one 6 footer to sell!
Send me email if you are interested and I put picture for you.

Oh yes!
I have tested one of his 8 ft. target bullwhips and it was really fantastic!

Hello Ari :)

Just thought I'd clarify a couple of points: we market ourselves primarily to UK customers; and our whips represent very good value if you're in the UK. A British whip cracker paying an overseas whip maker £200 for a new whip, will typically find that UK Tax and Import duty push the total cost to about £240 - and that's before shipping and handling fees. Whereas, our UK customers only pay the price shown on the web page. Plus, they often get to see and try the whip (or a demo whip of the same design) before deciding whether to buy it.

For our overseas customers, we can often have a whip sent direct from the whip maker. That way, the customer saves money because we don't incur the cost of importing the whip in to the UK. This is worth knowing, because some of the whips on our site won't be found elsewhere!

So it's always worth dropping us a line and asking for a quote.

As regards Cobra Whips: we see Alex on a fairly regular basis, and know his whips pretty well. They're excellent, and the prices he charges are fair. All of his whips are made to order - about a three month wait at present, I believe.

That's it! Like I say, if you're not in the UK, and there's something you're after that we might be able to supply, your best bet is to email us and get a price.

Regards

Dave
