Our leather Australian stockwhips and bullwhips are made of your choice of kangaroo leather or redhide. Each whip is individually handmade in Australia by award-winning Nemeth Whips Australia, a family owned and operated business. The whips are crafted strand by strand, one at a time, each with their very own personality. Our easy-care synthetic whips are top of the line, from Karaka Whips in New Zealand. Scroll to the bottom of the page for more information about stock whips and bullwhips.


Australian Kangaroo Stock Whip Stock Whip - Kangaroo Hide

Kangaroo leather is one of the toughest leathers available. It is four times stronger than cowhide of the same thickness. This allows for a super strong, yet very flexible whip that can take the extreme stress caused by cracking a whip.

Stock whips are an Australian design that have a long stiff handle, which makes them easier to use on horseback. The entire handle of our kangaroo stock whips is plaited (leather covered).

We have some whips in two-tone colors for an extra $33 - call for availability.

Karaka Whips developed a synthetic whip that is great for beginners or people who don’t have the time to spend caring for a leather whip.  These whips are designed for all weather conditions and are maintenance free.  The lead-loaded thong is completely synthetic which means that it cannot rot or be broken easily.  The synthetic whip can be washed with water and will work directly after even when wet, muddy or in snowy conditions.

WHIP INFORMATION

Materials

Kangaroo Leather ......Kangaroo leather is the ideal choice for whips, it is the strongest animal hide in the World, noted to be four times stronger than cowhide of the same thickness. However it is expensive, due to the small size of the hides and Australian regulations for harvesting Kangaroos. Kangaroo leather is less than 1/16 inch thick, so it is possible to have more plaits in a kangaroo hide whip than in a cowhide whip.

Redhide ......Redhide leather is cowhide that has been specially tanned to be strong and flexible for use in whips. It creates a nice loud crack and is a less expensive alternative to kangaroo leather.

Synthetic ......Synthetic whips, when made properly, are perhaps the easiest for beginners to learn on. They are maintenance-free, can be washed with water, and work great in all weather conditions.

Construction

A whip consists of the handle, the thong (the main body of the whip), the fall (the leather strip at the end of the thong), and the cracker (a nylon piece at the very end that aids in making the cracking sound). In a stock whip, the handle is a separate piece, with the thong attached by a strip of leather. In a bull whip, the handle is integral with the thong.

An Australian whip is made by brading strands of leather (plaits) around a central thong. The more plaits in a whip, the stronger and more flexible it will be.

The central thong (belly) of the whip is a strip of leather, except in the case of lead loaded whips, where the central piece is made of connected lead beads. The lead beads add weight, which allows the whip to move faster and create a louder crack.

Measurement

Bull whips are measured from the base of the handle to the end of the thong. The whip fall and cracker add about another 3 feet to the length.

Australian stockwhips are measured differently than bull whips. The measurement stated is the length of the whip thong only (center plaited piece). A 7 foot stockwhip will measure approximately 11 foot total length including the handle and the whip fall. Generally the shorter the whip the better control you have; the 7 and 8 foot whips are the most popular.
