This bullwhip is for those who want a thick handled or heavy whip. This whip starts off with a nylon core on your choice of either a steel or fiberglass handle foundation, followed by a 4 plait belly, an 8 plait belly, a 12 plait belly, a 16 plait belly, and finishes in a 24 plait overlay which brings the handle diameter to about 7/8 of an inch. Each belly is tightly bound at the transition for additional leverage and control.
To give you an idea of weight, an 8 foot Tank Bullwhip with a 12 inch steel handle weighs in at: 1 pound, 11 ounces (765 grams). The point can be finished in an Aussie style fall hitch or a tapered twist. A wrist-loop can be added for an additional charge of $10. Each whip comes with a spare fall and 5 crackers.
