Stock whip
From Spanking Art
Jump to navigationJump to searchA stockwhip, also spelled stock whip, is a type of single-tail whip that has a stiff (e.g. wooden or metal) handle, attached to a tapering body, followed by a single thin strip of leather called the fall, and finally a twisted string thread called the cracker or popper.
A stock whip differs from a bullwhip in that in a stock whip, the handle is connected to the body via a flexible joint called the keeper; in a bullwhip, the handle is either integrated into, or rigidly attached to the body.
The best stock whips have a body made from kangaroo hide.
