The First is a 5ft 8plait target whip with gaucho knot on the handle and the cracker directly plaited at the end of the fall.
I hope you like it

Nice work.. it look great.. how well does the braided cracker work on the whip. it is the first time I have seen it braided onto the end of a fall and not into the plaiting of the whip.

You did great work keep it up

Where there is a whip there is a way

Hi my friend and thanks a lot for your feedback!!!
This whip was made for cutting target according the specs of my customer, such as spaghetti, cigarettes or candles...
So I decided to plaited the crackers directly on the end of the fall so that fall and crackers will be a single body.

I saw that Adam Winrich did that with the cracker on his can cutting whip as well. It helps protect the fall from damage and keeps the cracker more securely attached. Very nice Giovanni! How long is the handle?

Ciao giovanni
Bell lavoro come sempre Giovanni. Che lungezza ha il fall, senza cracker.

Hy Guys,
many thanks, i'm very glad.
the handle is about 30cm and the fall is about 80cm long

the cracker was braided on the last part of the fall in 4 plait. at the end of the fall i make a knot to secure the braided and then i twisted the 4 strands.
Cheers

That's a fine looking whip Gio. That's an interesting idea, plaiting the cracker on like that. I imagine it would be very secure.
