Night Watchman Sjambok - All Leather Construction, Handwoven Whip, Knob Handle, Wrist Strap - Length 46"

Cons: 1. Wrapped around half dowel wood/half rope. The result is a disconcerting joint between limp rope and rigid dowel that reduces intimidation factor. (Your wagging your limp noodle at your enemy.) 2. Lacks the weight, hence, the firepower, of the polypropylene competition. 3. The leather on the handle is noticeable too slick and is just plain slippery. Pros: 1. Good quality leather. Better than expected. Looks much more authentic and "quality" than polypropylene competition. 2. Light weight = speed. This thing is fast. So lack of firepower is partially recompensed by rate of fire. This thing is coming back the other way before you know it. 3. A good compromise between the expense of pure leather and the thrifty firepower of polypropylene. All in all... buy one.
