Welcome to English
Whips
Bullwhip, signal whip,
snake whip or stock whip - it doesn't matter what you use. The first
time you make one crack, you'll be grinning from ear to ear. It's
like controlling something that is part animal, part magic
trick.
I am no longer taking custom
orders; or orders for accessories other than crackers (unless listed on my 'In Stock' page).
As of January 2010, I am
working through a long list of back orders; which I hope to complete
by the end of April. I will, from time to time, have very high
quality one-off whips available for sale from my In Stock page; as well as occasional
second-hand ones. After April, I think it will probably be time to
put English Whips to bed.
Beautiful Modern
Craftsmanship in the Ancient English Whip Making
Tradition
Without exception, my leather whips
are examples of hand-crafted functional beauty, made with pride,
designed to give many years of service and offered at a price that
reflects the time and skill involved in their
construction.
At one time, the English whip making
industry produced the finest whips in the world. Many people still
feel that the work of the best Victorian whip makers has never been
surpassed. In their heyday, there were possibly no more than ten
makers producing very high quality whips; and today, the
professional British whip maker has almost become a thing of the
past.
English Whips is the successor to The Whip
Store, which was the first British business to offer a range of high
quality bullwhips, signal whips, snake whips and stock whips from a
selection of the best Australian and American whip makers. I do, at
times, still offer beautifully crafted items and excellent
beginners' whips from the best overseas whip makers. Most of these
whips, when available, are offered on my In
Stock page. I also occasionally have good quality second
hand whips for sale on the same page.
I'm extremely selective in what I
offer: as well as making whips, I collect them and use them. I have
used hundreds of whips from many of the better known whip makers
worldwide, and will not supply whips from anyone unless I would be
happy to use it and can offer it at a fair price.
If you don't see what you're after, or
need some advice, please feel free to drop me an email: mailroom@whipstore.com.
I guarantee to give you unbiased, honest advice, and to never offer
you a whip that's not suitable for your needs in order to make a
quick sale. Whips and whip making are what I'm all about: my
satisfaction comes from making and supplying items of working beauty
that will bring lasting pleasure to their owners.
