When people ask me what I do for work, my usual answer is "I build whips." After a short explanation, their next question is, "What kind of people buy whips?" The answer...Indiana Jones fans, Zorro fans, actors, performers, teachers, production companies, martial artists, ranchers (real cowboys), firemen, service men, college professors, jugglers, knife throwers, lawyers, engineers, whip enthusiasts...the list goes on.

To date, we've built & sold over 400 whips to people of various backgrounds. Here's a sample of some testimonials from a few of these fine people.

Hello Steve,
the whip has reached me today....i just can say...WOW...very good work. (as all the whips I've seen from you)
I wish you a very nice X-mas and a happy new year...
Thanks for all...

Hi Steve,
 
I received the whip yesterday. It's beautiful. I still got it: I 
cracked the whip and it surprised me how loud it was. I'll have a lot 
of fun showing my colleagues and students.
 
Thanks again,
Rich

In a word: WOW!

In four words: You are a genius :)

Seriously, this is a piece of art. I have to post on COW when I get a chance. I'm blown away by the tight braid and handle. It looks like roo from a few feet away.

Thanks again,
K

JUST GOT It in today!!!

WOW is this one AWESOME whip!
I have gotten pretty used to my 6 ft that I have from Steven, but this baby is BEAST!
Its a bit heavier, and the foot of extra length (7 ft) makes a differnece as well..
I took it out to crack it a bit and WOW, it fires off like a shotgun blast with little or no effort at all!
The 12" handle adds that nice bit of extra leverage that really does the work for you on cracks!

Steven, I am SO impressed with this whip! I Never thought I would fall in love with a nylon whip the way i have with this one! The plaiting is really nice and ridiculously TIGHT!
Also, the chrome/silver accents make it "pretty" the floral concho on the end is really nice as well! I have a feeling my wife might want this one...

I took out the whip I use all the time. it's an black and white ebony handle 7footer and your nylon whip and put them both on my scale. The nylon came in about 1/2 oz lighter. The handles are the same diameter and about as long. If I didn't know better I would have thought you took the measurements and weight of my favorite whip and made yours to match. it is absolutely perfect for me. I will for sure be using this whip in my shows this summer.
 
You make one hell of a fine whip!
 
thanx
