Outstanding! Beautiful knives!

I went to the "Art Of Whips" on Etsy and ordered a 10-foot black bullwhip (+ an 18" fall) for $89.32 (+ $25.52 shipping from Great Britain) This come to a total of $114.84 shipped to my door. I haven't had a decent blacksnake bullwhip in my hands since my daddy died in 1975. This should be a lot of...

I just ordered one of these 10" Paracord Bullwhips.

This will never rot or fray.
Another cool acquisition.

I arrived in Tijuana on the morning of August 20th and left at 1:10 am August 26th. (The cartel was nowhere to be seen. The food and sightseeing were truly awe-inspiring). I never had a better time!

Happy belated birthday.

What people fail to understand is that bullwhips can actually serve on the city streets being seen as a defensive tool rather than an offensive weapon. I carried my combat cane aboard both Alaska Airlines flights without any real trouble. (Tell me they're going to deny an old Navy veteran his cane w...

It is strange about bullwhips. A fantastic example manufactured from Kangaroo hide can run as high as $315.00-$400.00 USD. The great part about them is that they "wear like iron" and can be used for herding/driving cattle, "persuading" mules/donkeys and/or keeping other animals at bay.

....you can carry a whip where you can't carry a gun or a knife)... Not sure the TSA would go for this Indiana Jones approach. In any case, please let us see that this Brit Whip looks like :D I returned home (on Alaska Airlines) with an 8' bullwhip coiled up in my carry-on luggage. There wasn't any...

I'm looking into a finely crafted 12 plait "blacksnake" bullwhip. A nice bullwhip can be used for entertainment, self-defense, and herding animals. (Father once had a 10' "blacksnake". I wish that I still had that piece of braided leather).

Does anyone else enjoy these ranching tools?

I see you didn't buy any knives BUT what did you see for sale knife wise? Thanks!

I saw several Chinese "Milano" autos and a few manuals. I even saw an inexpensive Chinese "ballpoint pen" OTF for sale (it was being sold for $8.00 USD). I liked them, but it wan't worth losing them at the airport.

I went to the Cultural Center of Tijuana (their museum) and for 27 pesos it was well worth the money spent. My second visit to the Tijuana Wax Museum was only $1.50 USD. Walking the streets of Tijuana, I passed the old 'Calle Ocho' (8th Street Jail) site. It has since been turned into a public park ...

Happy belated birthday, Ian. I wish that you had been with me in TIjuana, (you would have loved it)!

No, but I did bring back an 8-foot blacksnake whip I bought for $25.00. I also bought two pairs of good Mexican shoes for $20.00 each at a Tijuana Zapataria (shoe store). I brought back two .925 Sterling Silver rings at $18.00 and $25.00 each and a pair of Huarache sandals for my roommate's son for ...

I have been home since the afternoon of the 26th. My computer (or rather this site) has repeatedly dumped my replies about my trip to Tijuana, Rosarito, and Puerto Nuevo. Perhaps I can write about it in installments.
