Those who claim that sailors being whipped in past centuries is nothing but tall tales are about to be educated by our Mariner’s Cat.
The template for this scourge comes from a Danish museum ship. Rope ends made from jute or a similar material were always plenty on old ships, allowing such whips to be woven from them quickly and easily. Woe to anybody making their acquaintance!
Use extra care when using the Cat, as the tied ends can leave severe marks! Not suitable for beginners!

This knot-whip is the counterpart to our Jute and Cotton Cats. We do not call this one a cat, as a cat’s tails should always be twisted or braided. The Knot Whip’s handle is knotted from several leather strips using a special technique. A somewhat flexible but still firm handle is created, resembling the shape of a classic flogger’s handle. Due to the knotting the handle will feel more traditional though. The handle’s leather strips seamlessly transition into the flat tails, whose ends are intensified by three knots each (Or “beautified”? It’s up to you.) The Knot Whip’s impact should be appreciated. It will leave significant marks, which live up to a Cat O’Nine Tail’s reputation. The Knot Whip is available in a small and a slightly larger version. The difference is due to the strength of the leather used. For the smaller Knot Whip we use aniline leather which is 1.5 mm strong, and a stronger thick leather for the larger version. Overall length of the small Knot Whip: approx. 48 cm. Diameter: approx. 2.5 cm. Overall length of the large Knot Whip: approx. 50 cm. Diameter: approx. 3 cm. Weight: between 130 – 150 grams
This whip definitely belongs in the domain of whips with severe impact! The Flagellum has it's origins in the time of slaves and serfs. At that time these whips belonged to the basic equipment of slave owners and minders. In this case it is a short single tail, which is completely braided from Jute fibres. The single braid of the whip is made from two strings, twisted tightly from the end, which then merges into the fully flexible handle. This handle lies securely in the hand and allows for fast, short strikes, which will almost certainly result in the desired outcome.The pain caused is very penetrating and commands respect, due to the knotted, tight structure. To test the effect as the active partner, just strike your back over your shoulder like a self-flagellation.But be careful! Initially strike without force, the effect will already be impressive! Advice: This whip is not braided from a rope, but from jute fibres. This causes some short, protruding ends in some places. Please do not cut these off, as it could damage the whip. These ends are part of the normal appearance of the Flagellum. Length of the twisted strand approx. 40 centimetresTotal length approx. 80 to 85 centimetres Made from Jute
The handle of the Jute Cat is made by knotting various thin jute cords. This way a slightly flexible but still firm handle is created, resembling the classic shape of a flogger handle. However due to the rough jute material it will feel more distinctive and archaic.Sprouting from the handle are nine tails, each one wound from three jute cords. Their ends are made more extreme with a triplet of knots (Or do these make them more beautiful? You decide.) The Jute Cat’s impact is considerable. It can leave considerable bruises, worthy of a cat o’nine tails.<br /> Considering that at 150 grams weight this toy is a true featherweight of our range, you understand why we normally say “Cats are evil!”. Use with caution! It should also be noted that the Jute and Cotton Cat are vegan, in case you avoid animal products or just don’t like leather. And if you do like leather: The Leather Knot Whip (MWK311) is this darling’s opposite made from your preferred material.
The handle of the Cotton Cat is made by knotting various cotton cords dyed black. This way a slightly flexible but still firm handle is created, resembling the classic shape of a flogger handle. The cotton material will make the handle feel more archaic, if not quite as archaic as the Jute Cat’s one. Sprouting from the handle are nine tails, each one wound from two cotton cords. Each end is made more extreme by a triplet of knots. The Cotton Cat’s impact is considerable. It can leave considerable bruises, worthy of a cat o’nine tails. Considering that at not quite 150 grams weight, this baby is a true featherweight of our range, and you will understand why we tend to say that cats are evil. Use with caution!
