I make whips, if anyone wants to buy one that is made "Hawaiian style".  Both leather and rawhide whips, paniolo heritage type stuff.  Hawaiian style is to braid the whip backward from the fall.  They're braided from the skinny end longer & longer until the handle is formed or attached.

Anyone who can use these effectively is a better man than me. Using a sling is easier as a weapon system.  Bought one as a kid thanks to Indy and used it to swing around the forest. Mine cost like $30 (for a cheap one) but awesome ones cost hundreds.

Just get a inexpensive one off amazon and if you find you are into it buy a better quality one.  Looks like around $50 will get you a basic one but I can't attest to quality as mine is 25 years old...

Oh, here's a link to the guy who made the whips for the Indiana Jones movies....

Never tried one, but always got a sneaking suspicion that is was a good way to lash the hell out of yourself until you figured it out.
