Could be a Morgan or a Strain, or another vendor, not sure.

Where'd you get these pics? Is this your whip?

I wouldn't know what to look for to tell the difference, a lot of whips can look the same, but the knot at the end looks like it could be a Morgan (juding by the three plaits vs. only two). Though Joe Strain does make the larger knots (as he did with my whip), I don't know of many people that have ordered them. So, I don't know, but then again, I'm no expert. ;)

Still, nice whip nonetheless... :)

Its definitely not a Morgan. And I don't think it is a strain. The braiding looks like it might be a strain, but the problem is where the knot meets the handle braiding, there is a bit where you can tell where the braiding started. I don't think Joe would have let that out, but you never know maybe a really early one from him.

I would bet that it wasn't either of them.

Where did you get it?

The braiding looks nice consistant and tight by the way.

Looks like it's an 8 footer, right?

Is it just me, or does the fall look short? :-/

It sure looks like one if mine. Who owns the whip? I don't recognize the member who posted it.
