What makes this Tawse so appealing is its heaviness and the intense impact resulting from it. It is definitely not suited for gentle souls, but rather something for those who like it rough.
This tawse being markedly heavier than the others we offer results from the special type of English saddle leather used, which has oil added to the tanning process.
The handle is also reinforced with two additional layers of leather, further adding to the weight. This means that even very tick-set individuals can grip this robust handle comfortably.
A small hand-loop helps with the safe handling of this wicked implement.
The Heavy Tawse is available in the following colour-variants:
- black with a black handle and red seams
- black with a Bordeaux-red handle
- black with a London-coloured handle
Total length: approx. 52 centimetres
Width: approx. 6 centimetres
Weight: approx. 240 gram
Manufactured from our oiled English saddle leather (s. separate note)
The oiled saddle-leather used for this implement is a variant of our heavy saddle- leather. During the tanning-process a small amount of oil is added to the leather, adding to the weight of the finished product and making it particularly pleasing to the touch, as well as more flexible.
This high-quality leather is dyed in drums and has a thickness of 4.5 to 5 mm.
As it ages and gets used, it tends to become more supple rather than stiffer (which sets it apart from cheap types of leather which will become hard and brittle with age).
This leather enjoys having some dubbin wax applied occasionally, but it can also be re-oiled, if necessary. This should only be done sparingly, as otherwise a permanent greasy layer may form.

Tawses originated from Great Britain and were used as a corporal punishment tool of the judiciary and in schools. The model for this Tawse, in contrast, originates from a Parisian establishment of the 19th century, which even at that time was devoted to the topic of corporal punishment with an erotic background. Its appearance is therefore appropriately elegant and filigree. The effect can be nicely adjusted from playfully slapping to strict and punishing. The two layers of leather are not sewn together in the area of the fingers, so that three double fingers are formed. The edges are attentively tapered and offset in black. Additionally, an embossed line decorates the midlde. The handle is re-enforced with a slightly flexible inlay. We produce these Tawses from prime English bridle leather (please see additional description below) in the following colours: black with black stitching black with maroon stitching bordeauxred with edges and stitching in black (pictures will follow) mahagony with edges and stitching in black london with edges and stitching in black Length of fingers approx 22 centimetres Total length approx. 40 centimetres Width approx. 4 centimetres
This Tawse is a reproduction of an original Tawse, which was used to spank the bottoms of naughty Scottish schoool boys until well into the 20th century. It is sewn from two layers of very rubust leather, which has a severe effect when striking forcefully. Please use with caution in the beginning! Because of this Tawse's rigidness the strength of the strikes can be very precicely controlled. It is quite possible to administer mild slaps, although the teachers in Scottland would normally have applied the Tawse more forcefully. For the production of this Tawse we use heavy English saddle leather (please see additional information below) in the following colours: black with black stitching bordeauxred (pictures will follow) mahagony with black stitching london with black stitching Length of fingers approx. 22 centimetres Total length approx. 45 centimetres Width approx. 4.5 centimetres
