The following is his assessment [...]

Toheti Cane: Durable Material or Brittle Junk?
The dreaded scenario goes something like this: You’re at a whip practice and inadvertently leave your whip bag on the ground. Some very inattentive person comes walking up, doesn’t see your bag lying there, and steps right on it. Simultaneously, you hear a loud “crack,” but it doesn’t come from the popper of the Noreast [...]

5ft Bullwhip: Chocolate with Olivewood Handle
I have a 5ft woody bull on eBay. I do not anticipate taking any new orders for another month or two, so this is one of the few chances you will have to get a RK whip unless you’re already on my waiting list. Click on whip photo to see the eBay listing! Thanks! Rhett

New Exotics Coming Soon!

Nylon Whips: Opinions Have Changed
A few days ago, I was digging through some old issues of the APWA journal and I found an advertisement I once ran in a failed attempt to break into the Australian market with my cow whips. The ad contained one of my old sales lines: “Changing the way the world looks at nylon whips.” [...]

Exotic Handles: A Popular Option
Probably one of the hottest things I have going right now is the exotic woods that I now offer as a handle option on my tried and true line of Florida cow whips. In the past month, almost every cow whip ordered has been ordered with an exotic handle. I’m really kicking myself for not [...]

New Stockwhip from Simon Martin
Recently, as part of a swap between myself and Simon Martin, I became the proud ower of a new 6ft, 4 plait Aussie Stockwhip made by Simon Martin himself. As you may know, Simon works exclusively with kangaroo leather, so I was elated when he agreed to make this whip for me. I already have [...]
