Custom Artisan Cat-O-Nine Tails rope whip, hand-tied and dyed, this is an instrument designed for ritual flogging. Fashioned with 1/4" sisal rope, each tail ends with three heavy knots that will mildly fray with use. This bad boy packs quite the wallop. Available with a plain, teal-dyed, or scarlet-dyed grip. The sisal rope we use for our disciplines is a natural, biodegradable product, unoiled, and untreated by nasty chemicals. It is exceptionally durable and retains its strength and its knots well without requiring maintenance like oiling, waxing, or other methods of conditioning. Sisal disciplines get softer with time and use, without diminishing the impact. If you are looking for a theater prop, this discipline would be a good choice due to its length and large number of falls as well as knots. All our disciplines are discreetly packaged. Buy with confidence! Length: 23" not including handle loop Tails: 18" on average Handle: 5" Weight: 7 oz "The priests of Cybele scourged themselves and others. Such stripes were considered sacred."
