My review on Emanuele's bullwhip
Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 4:03 pm
Hi everyone!
Few weeks ago I and Emanuele (username Lelec here) exchanged whips. I've sent him my 9ft Indy bullwhip by Kiscien and I received this kip beauty. Lelec said it will be fully custom whip, so I went with TOD style, my favourite from the trilogy.
I have 'ordered' 10 footer with 9 inches handle, heavy, with Ben Scott's style knots. I wasn't sure which color should I choose, but Emanuele adviced me to get it in whiskey brown. It was perfect decision. It's so beautiful!
My specs have been fully followed. Let's see pics to proove it:
What can I say about it? When I saw Lelec's pics, I already knew I wanted a whip from him. They looks so good and they are nicely made as well. He's very talented whipmaker.
The package came safe and sound. The whip was safely protected. Really nothing could damage it. When I opened it, my jaw dropped very low. It was just amazing. I was blown away with the color. The only one whipmaker who uses similiar tone of hide it Ben Scott. The plaiting is nice, it has wide strands, clean drop points, proper taper, really long fall. And it's kip! Wow! Another thing I was happy with were knots. They came awesome, just like I requested. I love Ben Scott's style, when strands don't overlap, but lay clean next to each other.
To sum up, it is the best looking kip whip I have ever seen. Period.
How does it crack?

If you consider adding kip whip to your collection, contact Emanuel. You can't go wrong with him. Speaking with him is true pleasure, he answers emails within one day and is honest about everything. Will there be a delay? He will tell you. Any other problems? You will know about it.
Thanks again my friend for delivering such wonderful bullwhip!
PS. I'd like to apologize you that it took so long to write the review. I hope you understand
