Just finished my new pair of stockwhips!
The whip is 4.5 feet, 10 plait, no belly and made from 325 paracord.
The handle is 20 inch wood with a 16 plait 325 paracord wrap. The heel knot and the...collar? is a herringbone knot with the first pass being 550 red and the "second" pass being a double up of 325.
I'm very happy with how they turned out, my goal was to make a lightweight and slightly shorter whip that was easy to crack and I could manipulate while playing with some dynamic movements. I've been playing with them for a bit now but I just added the handle and the weight difference is noticable and quite preferable for tossing or contact juggling. I'm excited to learn with these and to build my skillset even more!
The majority of my whipmaking knowledge comes from nickswhipshop tutorials so thank you very much for making those videos!
