The Nagaika is originally a historical Cossack riding whip, which was available in many different styles. Typical is the thick swat at the top, which transgresses from a slight curve into a braid. The Cossacks deploy their whips mercilessly also against people who get in their way. But it's ultimate fame the whip achieved later in Russia. During the time of the Czars it was used as a punishment instrument against slaves and convicts. For this purpose lead balls were sewn into the swat, so that punishment with a Nagaika would almost always result in heavy injuries.

Our Nagaika is of course not as fierce, but it's elegant appearance should not disguise it's effect. It is braided from 3 millimetre thick buffallo leather, which is worked in a double layer at the swat so that even lighter strikes leave distinct marks.

The Nagaika is relatively easy to handle, but does certainly not belong in the hands of beginners! If you have felt it once, you will always treat it with respect.

Length of curved handle approx. 23 centimetres,
total length approx. 75 centimetres
