This is a Made to Order Item - The photos are examples and not the actual item. Your finished product will vary according to your specifications and some creative liberty. No two whips are identical unless you are ordering a matched set.
This is a 5 foot 12 plait nylon Stock Whip.
We have re-designed these stock whips for performance based on feedback from some nationally known performers. They are lighter and thinner than our previous versions. We are constantly refining our methods to give the best performance possible.
All our stock whips are nylon. Nylon is a great material for whips as you get very similar performance to leather but it does not require the maintenance and break in period that leather whips do and it is normally much more affordable.
We use high quality paracord and nylon sinew in the body of our whips. These whips have only one plaited belly, in addition to the overlay giving them two layers of plaiting to reduce weight and improve speed. The core is lightly weighted and has an elasticized binding. We do not use any electrical tape in these whips. The overlay is 12 plait and can end in a tapered twist or a fall attached to a 4 plait end. The handle is solid oak with an ebony stain. There is usually leather in the knot foundations but we do have non-leather options if you request it. These whips are fast, responsive. They have smooth flow and lots of energy.
Your whip will be made with the plait pattern and colors of your choosing. We make our whips with a black background/base color and an accent color, but if you want multiple colors, colors not listed or a different base color than black please specify when you order.
The heel of the whip handle can be finished capped with plain leather, coordinating gem, metal concho, or even a personal item (see “add-ons”). It will be finished with plain leather if you do not specify a preference.
We started offering waxing as an option for an additional charge (see “add-ons” in our shop). There are varying opinions on waxing nylon whips. It can improve the flow of the whips and adds additional protection, however it also adds some weight and can dull or darken colors. We love the feel of waxed whips and now prefer it for our personal whips.

A note about buying whips:
Prices for whips vary greatly but you generally get what you pay for. Cheaper whips might look fine on the surface but skimp on the internal structure. They often have less plaiting and binding internally or are made with poorer quality materials. This can drastically affect their flow, accuracy, and how well they age. Whether you buy one of ours whips or buy from another seller please do your research and ask questions if you want a quality whip.
