Basic Whip Differences

bull-blk-purp

The bullwhip, an American favorite, is a single continuous whip with the stock built into the whip thong. The stock is traditionally 10 - 12 inches inches long with the total length of the whip being six to eight feet, though much longer whips are also used. DeSaye bull whips consist of a 16-strand nylon paracord braided over a fiberglass handle and shot-loaded nylon core in lengths from 3 1/2 to 10 feet.

stk-w-mrnturq

The stock whip (or stockwhip), a DeSaye best-seller, is a whip consisting of two parts: the stock, (handle), and the thong, traditionally six feet, but may be longer. The two parts are joined by a "keeper". DeSaye stock whips are hand-braided with 12 strands of nylon paracord over a loaded nylon core. Fiberglass handles, are 18" to 20" long, with a full-plait, braided nylon covered handle finished in a Pineapple Knot. 1/2-plait handles available. (3' Stockwhip has a 13" handle)

snake-grey-tan-sh

The snakewhip. (Pocket Snake pictured.) Primarily used for martial arts, contests, and self-defence, a snakewhip has no stock. They are similar to the bull whip and can be ordered in lengths as short as 3 feet--known as "pocket" snake whips. DeSaye snakewhips consist of 16 strands of nylon paracord braided over a shot-loaded nylon core. Snake whips are measured by the BRAIDED LENGTH only, this DOES NOT include the 24" fall.
