Honestly, I'm not sure what to call this. The overall style was inspired by the Young Indy whip, but the length and colors are very different. Any ideas would be helpful.

It didn't copy quite right. And I didn't notice that.

I would just call it a (insert length here) bull whip.

It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

It's definitely stuff. I'm going to break it in a little before it goes out.

Looking good Jesse! I'd personally have gone for a smaller transition knot, but that's just my preference; can't fault your work :)

Iunno why but now I have a feeling I want to make something similar but with like a bright neon green thong to call it the lightsaber-whip :P

Normally I'd just call them [length]-bullwhip as well :) Looking good! Also reminds me of a sickle, the shape that it's in

I#m also only saying the length and style of a whip, but if you want a name, call it BSW (beefy Short Whip) :D

Matt, I actually used that knot because when you see it in person, it looks remarkable similar to a rose. I do smaller ones on many of my whips, but that kind of captured the person of the person who commissioned it.

Brandon, I did this with a traditional fall hitch. Are you one of those English Eye people? It flows really well, believe it or not

Ahhh nice. Yeah I love my english eyes, but I do sometimes do a fall hitch. It's more the fact that this is short enough that it curves like a sickle when tied like that haha
