Gun guys refer to firearm glamor shots as "gun porn," so I'm gonna officially label this whip porn. =P~ :lol:

Yep, you can "crack" to this :CR:

Great as always, I especially like the CS, despite the fact I'm not a fan of Jacka's CS whip. But this is nice!

Great photos! Thanks for sharing! Love seeing Joe Strain's work, especially when it looks fresh and crisp right out of the box!

Does he still sell the Raiders 28th anniversary one anymore? Specs look great, as does the color...looks just a little aged from a natural one...which loks good on a raiders whip. Would love to find how to get my hands on one.

Depending on who you ask, Joe has taken a quasi-hiatus from whipmaking. You can call him for details, but his site hasn't allowed online orders for months now.

Really sorry for this late answer,i just think to have a look today in the whip section..
Cajunkraut: For the leather jacket on the pictures where the Raiders whip/Joe Strain was on,it is my Raiders Bill Kelso with striated lambskin ,bougth at the beginning of the production ,very early ,the number is the 01/1981.
Last february i tooke a big cold rain at night on it ,returning in mountain bike from a comics shop in town where every week-end we made a lunch between some geeks and (not the fake geeks of Big Bang Theory :lol: ),the result is the jacket is now much better with nice wrinkled on sleeves and chest..

Arklover:Sorry but for the moment i don't think to sell this whip..but courage and patience you will find it one day,i'm sure !
