Nylon Paracord Cow Whips and Custom Whips with Hand Crafted Exotic Wood Handles
Amper Style
A New Kind of Whip
Originally invented by Robert Amper (see home page, and videos), it is my honor that this whip design bears his name.
The Amper Style features a very noseheavy (weight is forward to the tip) cow whip thong with two plaited bellies. It has a little added binding at the transition, the thong is epoxied into a completely handmade exotic wood handle. This whip comes with a stamped and signed certificate of authenticity for the handle which is numbered, three falls with quick-change cracker loops, (both weighted and non-weighted) and five crackers (tapered dyneema-style and tapered sinew). The fall hitch can be Traditional, Cow Whip Twist, or an English Eye/English Eye with a Twist.
~A special thank you to Mario Desgronte for the beautiful photos of the Amper Style #001~
Handles: These handles are completely handmade. It takes from 3-5 hours, depending upon the wood species, to complete each handle. I use a drill to hollow the cup, otherwise it is all hand tools. A rasp, a vise, a layout compass, a pencil. Sandpaper. Handmade.
