Here at Aussie Whip Maker we assure you of the best quality by personally hand selecting to ensure our ‘leather’ is free from stretch or blemishes to give you a perfect handcrafted bullwhip which, with care, should last you a life time.
Australia’s whips are truly the best in the world. This is not necessarily due to the fact that we have some of the best whip makers in the world, but also because here in Australia we still use whips for work, we also have the best leather for whips in the world. Kangaroo hide is simply the best leather there is.
A whip is like a chain, the more links a chain has the more fluidly it will move, making it more supple and flexible, therefore the more strands that a whip has, the more fluidly it will move. More time is taken when plaiting with multi strands, therefore they are the more expensive whip. The bull whips are all hand crafted to fit you and your needs. A custom built whip is simply a joy to use.

BuyRed Hide Bullwhips Selection
Red Hide is the name given to a type of cow hide that has gone through a specific tanning process. As the name suggests the final product is a deep ‘red’ coloured leather.
The quality of any cowhide depends on the original hide. Scars can create weaknesses in the leather. Young cattle have more stretch in the hide, which is not desirable for whips. All leather will stretch but if the strands at the end of a whip have too much stretch, then they are more susceptible to breakage. This is why the hand selected hides are so essential to the final result.
Red Hide Loaded and Balanced Bullwhips
Red Hide Bullwhips are loaded and balanced, which means that more weight is put into the belly of the whip. The belly of any whip is the most important component. If a whip has no belly in it, it will not crack effectively. All Aussie Whip Maker whips have the appropriate amount of weight in the belly and are balanced to suit the usage specified.
A loaded and balanced whip refers to a whip that has the right amount of weight in the belly in the right spots throughout the whip. The weight of the handgrip is also balanced according to the length of the whip and the specified usage.
THE RED HIDE BULL WHIP SELECTION
The red hide bull whip is a less expensive selection but just as effective as a heavier whip, being from cow hide. This type of whip is selected by men and women who work dangerous wild cattle that need to be kept at their distance.
