Description:
It has a different action from a flogger, and it's not like a whip either! From the handle, it separates into four lashes. Then at 18” each lash separates again into sets of two or four lashes that are each 6” long, so the total length of the tails are 23”. A braided loop is attached to the stiff 10” handle.
