Craftsmanship and Details
The handle is sturdy, wrapped in leather for a secure, non-slip grip, and reinforced at both ends with metal rivets to ensure durability. Extending from the handle are nine separate, flat-braided straps (tails). These straps do not end in knots but in flat leather "leaves" or tabs, which changes the character of the impact. A practical wrist loop is included to ensure the whip doesn't slip from your hand in the heat of action (or performance).
Historical and Modern Use
This type of whip, often called a scourge, has a dark but fascinating history. It became famous particularly in the British Navy as a tool for maintaining discipline ("letting the cat out of the bag"), but variations were used for punishment since antiquity. Today, this instrument has a much broader spectrum of use:
- LARP and Reenactment: An indispensable accessory for roles such as executioners, wardens, slavers, or heretic hunters.
- Theater and Film: It looks authentic on camera, and the tail construction creates a characteristic sound upon impact, adding drama to scenes.
- Alternative Scene: Thanks to the flat braided tails, this whip is also suitable for BDSM practices (spanking). It delivers more of a "thud" than a stinging cut, making it a popular tool for sensation play.
