My order arrived very quickly, so I was extremely excited to try it out!! I open the box to reveal my new purchase. I gripped the handle and slapped the tails against my leg only to be sprayed with a dusting of black paint chips. What did I find? That smell wafting out of the box wasn't the leather smell I had anticipated; it was SPRAY PAINT. I went to wash my hands of the black residue, and one of the tails fell into the water, the water started turning black. underneath all that spray paint, there is actual leather, as promised. It's a red/brown leather, but I can assume it is genuine nonetheless.

This wasn't at all what I was hoping for, but I guess it depends on what you intend on using it for. If it is just a "for show" kind of item, then It's very presentable... but if you have other intentions, I'd think twice.

I received this item as a gift and was amazed at the poor quality. As soon as I unpacked it the (very obvious) glue holding the wrapping around the handle let go and the wrapping began to unwind. I'm only glad that my gift giver didn't waste much money on this item. Although what was spent was wasted. Very, very shoddy work.

I bought this as a prop for my daugher in a play. The dye is not set and bleeds all over everything it touches. It will get on the hands and does not come off easily. Do not buy this item unles you don't care about shoddy products!

This is not my first cat-of-nine-tails whip but it is actually the best one for the money. I bought 2 of these to use as gifts and I ended up keeping one of them. This whip has a great handle/grip, very comfortable to hold great for long sessions. It is also well balance so it doesnt require a lot of aiming to hit the wanted spot. Also, what counts, Im receiving excellent feedbacks from the people at the other end of it. It delivers your message loud and clear at normal swing with a very good increase in...love as you increase the swing speed and force. This product delivers!

Reading the reviews after I purchased the Cat of nine tails I was getting nervous,. But really, when it arrived, yes it smelled a bit new and just finished, but the size and durability was perfect. I mean if you plan on whipping the hell outta your partner, don't get this. But as a first timer, I don't plan on leaving any marks on her, so it's absolutely perfect! GREAT deal for the price, it's $2 and some change people... SHEESH

Regardless of complaints, it should be kept in mind the price paid for this cat o' nine is very low. As a result perfection cannot be expected. Surprisingly it is actually fairly well made. Some of the weave is a bit on the loose side at joints but other than that it's in good condition. The only downfall was that it came to us very dry! I suggest if you are going to use one of these for anything more than decoration, you should get some mink oil paste and thoroughly rub it into the leather by hand. This will soften the leather appreciably. Depending on your reason for purchase, you might want to have the recipient of any intended "punishment" be the one to prepare it. It could add to the fun! Keep in mind that the leather used is fairly low quality and may have some hardened spots. You should check to be sure there's nothing that's going to leave a permanent injury if you do use this for practical use.

If you're giving it as a gag gift, it's probably the cheapest one out there the way it's being marked down, but if you actually intend on using it, look elsewhere.

I understand that I'm paying very little for the item and as such shouldn't expect top quality. but as other's have said there are several things just wrong with it. The leather is very dry and feels cheap, the die isn't fully set so when you even run it through your hands some will flake off, and the die and glue still smell from their production facility. Mine isn't so bad I have to throw it out, but it is bad enough that I need to consider options on how to treat the leather to improve it as much as I can. Likely I'll chuck this one and buy a better made one if my partner expresses any serious interest in this.

I appreciate the NEW whip that was sent in the place of the one that was damaged. The new whip is very good. I'm so happy that it arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

Thank you.

I would only buy this as a prop. its painted and easy to come apart, i had to sew a few pieces back on.
