Whips

Whips

Leatherbeaten offer perhaps the most droolworthy collection of multitail braided whips on the entire planet. And if you think that's an exaggeration, the following section will show you it isn't. I can't think of any other manufacturer who uses as broad a range of leathers as we do, and nobody who has our repertoire of braids. The combination of those two factors lets us create an artist's pallette of sensations for you to paint with. Here you will find sensations for every occasion, from the gentlest soothing thudding to the most exquisite skin shredding, and everything in between. So, if you're ready, get yourself a nice cup of cocoa, and read on...

Traditional Whips

Each of these whips can be made with standard black or pretty coloured handles: click the whip to see the options.

Nikita

One of the many endearing attributes of goatskin is that you can cut it thin and pull it tight. That makes it one of the best leathers there is for braiding. Another thing we love about goatskin is that, when tightly braided, it's unbelievably snappy, and stings like a herd of enraged jellyfish, without the nasty side effects.

Sting sluts will love the Nikita, because it's so light, all you feel is the sting. And you do feel lots of that.
Tops will love it because it's a beautifully responsive, versatile whip, and an absolute pleasure to handle. Many people make the mistake of thinking it's a miniature Cat, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nikita has a personality all of its own - if the Cat is a chocolate fudge ice cream, then Nikita is a cranberry sorbet... Nothing else handles quite like the Nikita. It swings, strokes or snaps with great accuracy, and will richly reward both top and bottom, leaving its telltale red lines on the latter like a road map of Kansas.

Cat

You cn try all you like, but you're not going to find a better braided Cat o' Nine anywhere. Each whip is individually weighted to ensure comfort and fluidity of use; and our ergonomic handle keeps wear and tear on the user's arm to a minimum.

The business end is composed of nine lovely 24" long lashes of rich, supple deerskin, full of bounce and heft. At play, it is beyond luscious. Braided deer doesn't have the harshness of cow, and the impact is initially felt below (rather than on) the surface of the skin. As it fades, a beautiful tingling warmth spreads out deep down within the muscles. We're not kidding about this. It's great.

Jellicle Cat

The Jellicle's eyecatching two tone lash is tightly braided from a medium weight cowhide. Cowhide tends to be a bit on the harsh side when braided, and this is what gives this little puppy its characteristically sharp, stingy edge. Lots of thud, lots of sting with this one, and the shortish (16") lashes make it easy to wield in more confined spaces..

Senor Forkbeard

You're probably wondering what this one is all about, yes? Well, it's a little bit hectic, combining a lot of thud with some pretty nasty sting, and with a fair amount of weight-fuelled discomfort to boot. The braid on this thing is about the most unusual you're likely to see on a whip. It's an eight lace double flat braid of heavy garment cowhide, which presents an X - shape in cross section. That means that although this piece has only five lashes, between them they carry the weight of ten regular four lace lashes. To push the point, the bottom two inches or so of each lash forks into two four lace round braids, each of which is terminated in a bumpy little hitch knot. You know, we've said it before about these things, but Ouchie!

Boutonniere

The Boutonnière is another interesting braid, this time a six lace double flatbraid, cut from heavy 3oz - 4oz, chrome tanned cowhide, which presents an elliptical profile in cross section. Not quite as heavy as Senor Forkbeard (above), the Boutonnière gets its assertiveness from the little items at the end of each tail, which are chunky Chinese Button Knots. So it's quite assertive. We're not really sure where to place this on that old thud - sting continuum. It's more like being pummelled by tiny fists wearing miniature boxing gloves.

Available in black/red, black/blue, black/purple and all black.

Flexi Handle Whips
the following items have no handle options

Over the years, we have received many requests and suggestions. I won't bore (or amuse) you with the sillier ones - I should really put up a separate web site devoted exclusively to those - but one of the more sensible was to make heavy whips lighter in the hand. After ten years of braiding, I have wrist and tendon issues myself, and don't find the heavier gear as manageable as I used to, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that; not with all the crap we all seem to put our wrists through. So, after a few experiments, here's a sampling of new, and newer, pieces that combine maximum flagellation fun with a creative ergonomic sensibility.

Scourge

This is a devastating little item that is destined to become a BDSM classic of pocketsized mayhem infliction. We love to make small, harmless looking things that actually have about as much bite to them as an fairly large crocodile farm, and this is the latest in a long, honourable series of them. We have been getting what I can only describe as rave reviews about this piece. So, what is it? Three short snappy goatskin lashes, braided around a slender core of 1mm diameter leather lace, and mounted on a thin flexible rubber core. The shortness of the lashes means you can be very accurate, and allows for lots of up-close-and-personal play. Sensations vary from feather like and fluttery to razor sharp and slashing. One "reviewer" said his sub could not believe he'd only been using one piece on her, and went on to add that for two weeks he used nothing but the Scourge,and just kept finding new sensations with it. We don't tend to go in for testimonials round here, but we do like to share, occasionally.

Three 10" goatskin lashes.

Available in all black or black/red.
Handle: 7" four strand cowhide.

Asp

This was the piece that got us started on our exploration of flexi whips. We took a Nikita and mounted it on a 9" flexible core handle. The result is an entirely new piece, that has all of the attributes of the Nikita, and then some. It's faster than the original, for one thing, which makes it, if anything, even sharper. It still flips and snaps with tremendous accuracy - you can hit the same spot repeatedly, over and over again (as if you didn't know what "repeatedly" means!), and it feels great in the hand. Of course. It's kind of like a five tailed singletail...

Five 24" goatskin lashes.

Mamba
Mamba is a cross between a Cat and and an Asp. We should probably run a contest to win one. It could be the Cat-Asp Trophy. Hey, I just made that up! Oh, where was I?

The Mamba is cross between an Asp, and a Cat. It has five thick braided deerskin lashes mounted on a flexible cored handle. It's a lovely whip to use. The pommel knob sits comfortably in the palm of the hand, and the lashes respond instantly to each flick and throw of the wrist. The Mamba's bite is heavier and deeper than the Asp's, and it leaves you with a rich, tingling afterglow that's as sensually satisfying as a mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter night.

Cdn $215.00

Growltiger

We were so pleased with the way the Asp and Mamba worked out we decided to go all the way and start putting the larger whips onto flexi handles. The Growltiger is based on the Cat, and has all of its excellent pedigree and manners, such as the lush sensation of warmed and tingling muscles that you get from braided deerskin. Plus, it has a very pleasant responsiveness in the hand, and a good deal more speed in reserve. We think you will like...

Cdn $296.50

Macavity

And, in keeping with our half baked Cats theme, this is Macavity. It's based on a Boutonniere braid, a six lace double flatbraid, cut from heavy 3oz - 4oz, chrome tanned cowhide, which presents an elliptical profile in cross section. The handle is a core of half inch diameter neoprene rubber covered with an eight lace black herringbone braid. As with the Boutonniere, Macavity gets its assertiveness from the dense Chinese Button Knots at the end of each lash, but it's general air of stroppiness is compounded by the flex in the handle, which adds extra power to the throw.

Available in black/red, black/blue, black/purple and all black.

Five 20" cowhide lashes.
Handle: 8" long, black only.

Cdn $276.75

Great Rumpus Cat

Another venture into the realm of the flexible handle, this is essentially a Jellicle with a rubber core, rather than a half inch steel rod, and an eight lace herringbone handle. It has all of the charm of the Jellie, and it moves more fluidly, generating a lot of kinetic energy at the tips, and is a dream in the hand, to boot.

Mortal

One of most exquisitely nasty whips we, or anyone else, offer, the Mortal oozes a reptilian charm. Seven deerskin lashes,braided around a core of 1mm round leather cord, finished with terminal Turks Head knots, on a beautifully flexible handle. The handle is covered with a very attractive 8 lace herringbone braid, with pineapple knots top and bottom. Did I mention that the 1mm round leather lacing extends for an inch or so beyond the knots? No? Ah, well, sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference...
Mortal can be light and scratchy, or heavy and sharp. The combination of the knots and leather tips, together with the kind of speed the flexi handle gives it, make it one of the great, unique whips.
