12 Plait Bullwhip Prototype for Sale

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.

I received sad news recently that Joe Akerman Jr. passed away. I was given this news on Facebook by his son Mark. Among his many accomplishments, Mr. Akerman wrote the book Florida Cowman. Florida Cowman was a book that I read as a sophomore in high school and used as a source for a term [...]

Update
