Whip don Pots

An unusual don whip made of two shades of calfskin. The braid of this model uses three types of weaving: chess for the handle, "snake" for sarven and "Turkish head" for thickening at the ends of the handle and whip. This weave not only decorates the whip, but also helps to increase the strength. Chess weave – one of the most dense – keeps the handle from abrasion, "snake" provides a tighter fit of the inner leather strips to each other, thereby increasing the force of impact, and braided heads protect the handle from slipping out of the palm during use.
