A snake whip is so called because they have no handle and can be curled up into a small circle looking just like a snake to the unwary. In the old days new chums would be frightened by the old hands on stations when they would leave one of these whips curled on the ground for the new chum to stumble across and watch the reaction, mostly near heart attacks because these new chums where for the most part freshly arrived from England and had most probably never seen a snake. No TV in those days so they had to amuse themselves somehow.
    There are two kinds of snake whip, a pocket snake which can be curled up small enough to fit into a large pocket  and comes in sizes from 4ft to 6ft.They are 3/4 of an inch in diameter at the butt end.
     A full size snake whip is one inch in diameter at the butt end and is a much heavier whip. It comes in sizes from 4ft to infinity.
     Both these types of snake whips are made with a leather shot bag running approximately 3/4 the length of the whip. This bag  is filled with a no 12 shot which we have specially made for us.12 shot is much finer than shot normally used in shot loaded whips and therefore packs down tighter making a denser whip. Around this shot bag is placed a full leather bolster, then an 8 plait kangaroo hide belly is plaited over this. Next another bolster and then the final overlay of 12 plait kangaroo hide for the pocket snake and 16 plait kangaroo hide for the full size snake whip. All our whips come with replaceable white hide falls and nylon crackers.
 

All these whips come supplied with 3 spare falls and 10 extra crackers. Also supplied is a CD or DVD, (your choice) showing some basic whip cracking, how to change your fall and cracker, how to make your own crackers and basic whip maintenance.
I can now also offer a nickel ring with 2 initials engraved into the ring and held in place by 2 decorative knots for $50.00 extra or a sterling silver ring with 2 initials held in place  by 2 smaller sterling silver rings for $80.00. A combination of these two can also be arranged, just get in touch with me.
