Chain whip

It consists of several metal rods, which are joined end-to-end by rings to form a flexible chain.

The rushing noise also helps the user with identifying the location of the other end, since the weapon moves too fast to be normally noticed by human eyes.

With good whips, there is better color and shine to the metal, segments are stylized, holes are precisely centered, the chain rotates smoothly in the swivel built into the handle, there are no sharp corners or edges, and welds are strong.

The typical construction method for chain whips is to use a steel bolt to thread through small pieces of leather and then use a lathe to round and shape the handle.

Shape and weight distribution should allow the chain to be easily tossed and retrieved into one hand.

The whip chain can be folded and hidden from view, making it an easy weapon to carry and conceal.

In some, the chain whip is thrown in the air and caught, flicked around the neck, or flung around underneath a recumbent performer.
