Of all the whips I’ve sold, you won’t find any bullwhips out there that aren’t 16 plait. Until now… This week I finished a prototype version of my own line of 12 plait bullwhips. It’s made in the same manner as all my other bullwhips, but without the additional 16 plait overlay. I have posted [...]

Self Defense Project: The Bull Bat
The first time I ever made a bullwhip, I was intrigued with how the handle, more specifically the heel knot, was very dense and probably would not feel very good if it was applied to the side of someone’s cranium. In How to Make Whips, Ron Edwards wrote about how blackjacks were illegal to carry [...]

The Frisbee Show Bullwhip
I recently had the pleasure of making a unique 8ft bullwhip for Greg Frisbee, a San Francisco based entertainer who does juggling and all sort of other things in his family-friendly shows. Greg has been one of my customers for a long time, but this is by far the wildest looking whip he has gotten [...]

Whipmaker Intro: Robert Buckley
Over the years I’ve had several clients go on to become whipmakers as well. I’m happy to say that this is the case also with Robert Buckley of Lineagewhips.com. Robert first got into whips via Kenpo Master, Richard “Huk” Planas. Robert purchased his first nylon bullwhips from me in 2004 and I recently shipped him [...]

An Explanation of New Price Structure
Before I begin accepting orders again, I want to post a brief explanation of my new price schedule. For years I have tried to be somewhat of a “low price leader” among nylon whipmakers.

Beware of Self-Proclaimed Masters!
Something I have been noticing over the last couple of years is really starting to bother me. I’m seeing novice whipmakers on the web and on eBay trying to peddle whips that look like garbage all while proclaiming themselves to be “master whipmakers.” I’ve been making nylon whips for the better part of 20 years [...]
