This cruel flogger has a slightly bigger bark than bite. Make no bones about it, this one will leave marks and lots of sting, but it is made with a soft deer tanned cow leather, plus braided (barbed wire 1mm leather). The leather falls number 40 to 50, while there are 6 barbed wire braids mixed within. The falls are 19" long and 1/2" wide. The handle is 8" long x 1 3/4" diameter with turkshead knots at either end. The bottom turkshead has braided barbed wire 1mm leather tied in a turkshead pattern over the knot for added psychological effect and well...to make it look cool.
