Very nice brother. That whip looks lovely, well done. Regarding the strand drops you could check out a video I posted a while back on how I drop my strands with a needle. I'm very happy with my drops as they are close to invisible. And that needle pushed into the thong helps a lot as it prevents the strands from pulling down and out of position when dropping. It's not the greatest vid I've made but give me a howl if you're having problems. Catch you later man!
I made a cow whip with a smaller diameter cord and it is by my favorite whip to crack. It is a 10 foot with a 16 plait overlay. I plaited the whip backwards starting from the point and adding strands. Unlike any other whip, it has the core left inside for more durability. Check out Adam Winriches video on how he makes cow whips
Isn't 325 cord the same thing? It's been around for quite a while. 275 cord is much thinner. It's really not a new cord. But I do agree that the thinner cord does make a more supple whip with a much thinner fall hitch. This should lead to a easier and smoother crackin' whip. Nicely done on the video.
It's almost like a synthetic version of thin strands of roo hide, should be great for fancy fine plaiting patterns on handles etc, looks great, I have a very fine roo hide bullwhip made by joe strain, and you can see the strand dropping on that too. thanks for the video.
Hootyhoo, hey I've got a question for ya; In your opinion; (for a newbie to Whip Cracking ) which do you think would be easier; the Stock Whipped 5'-6'(+-) or the Bull Whip same ft.? I'm thinking about puttin something together for my brother ; I think He's interested in the skill; although he's never cracked one ever since I started making mine & I suspect he may be a bit intimidated; though he would Never admit it. I'm asking several whip builders they're opinions so be frank. Lastly; what for your every day go to do you prefer? Stock or Bull? I guess length is probably a factor as well... I'm looking for your opinion on comfort.... Thanks in advance for your responce Scott Outta Wa.
Heck yeah! I’m ordering some of this today! Thank you Nick! I really want to try this on a stockwhip as you suggested. I like the way 275 cord flows but this has a lot of potential and looks like it will lay a lot flatter. I’ll do a video as requested too. Man I’m so excited lol
dark96744 definitely worth a shot. I would suggest flattening them first as well, there are multiple tutorials if you want to look it up. Also some brands of 550 have much smaller diameters than others so those could work as well.
@@sterlinghamiltonracing6487 it would be my first time working with cord this thin for whip making but i have worked with thinner cordage before for ring making so it will be an interesting experiment
My first attempt with this cord was a bust. I need more patience, but I also don't like how light the whip feels. I might try it another build, but I think I'm just hooked on the 550 style, as it feels more powerful, and stronger as sometimes I swing with my whips.Thanks nick!.
Looks like a great product it's just a shame it's only available in US. Not very good customer service from the paracord store. Love the whip. God bless
I made a miniature 3 foot pocket snake whip out of some 1mm nano cord, it's 16 plait with a ball chain core and about as thick as a pen. With an 8 inch fall and an 8 inch cracker, its great for self defense. Also good for keeping rowdy goats away...
Awesome vid man glad to see new stuff from you, I make whips differently then you right now. I start with a large 10 or 12 inch nail and only have one belly. Just got some 1/4 inch rod so I'm excited to try a new way of making whips
Hey Nick, thnx for this video. Nice to see you try new options, allowing me to know if something is worth to try! It is really important for whipmakers. Keep up the nice work dude!
Hello Nick, i just wanted to order all the material i need for this Whip. The picture on Patreon says first two bellies are plated with 550 paracord, while the overlay will be the new 3/16 paracord. And the third bellie?
hey Nick, love your channel. I have been following for about a year now. Just finished a 16 plait 6 ft. whip. It came out very good for my first one. I had a problem with 55 cord for my fall(getting the needle through). so, I used my 3/8 core and I think its too heavy about a 18" fall with 8 inch cracker. I really have to swing it to make it crack. I ordered the jig perma needle and when they arrive I will replace the fall. Thanks again for all the great info..
I'm trying to come up with strand lengths and plait counts for this material. I dont want to make my cuts and not have enough in the end. I have 100feet black and 100 red for a 6foot double belly
He Nick. This looks like a very cool material. But when i go to the paracordstore i saw that it wasnt shipping to the Netherlands. hopefully this will be the case soon, cause i really want to try.. Thanks for making all the gread vids for us.
Awesome nick,is it just as strong as 550 paracord, my whip I got has a steel handle in it with shot load an is 10-ft, the hill knot is a pineapple style,does it hurt paracord whips if they get wet slightly from cracking on damp grass,it really try not to until the sun has come out for a while, I've noticed that mine after it drys afterwards it's stiff down the tail towards the fall. When I crack it like a day or two later it still does as its supposed to.
Ive build my first whip like 5 or 6 years ago with your video! This is exactly what im searching for in an nylon whip,.. It looks fast and slender, like a leather one. Beautiful!!
I am an ordinary guy who really likes your channel for it’s tutorials and I greatly appreciate your willingness to spread your techniques in whip making. That said, I am really looking forward to more videos where you explore making whips with this new type of paracord. I understand that craftsmanship cannot be rushed, but I am excited to see what other whip designs you come up with using this paracord and I hope you will show us on your channel. That said, this video immediately sparks several questions in my mind. The increased plait number does make it better for fancy plaiting, but I am curious if you are just using this smaller paracord just for the overlay of this whip? Are there other benefits to a higher plait count besides aesthetics? Does using this paracord for the entire whip would make it heavier than normal after waxing it in paraffin? Are whips made entirely of this material thinner that past whips? How would this material change stock whips or handle knots? I may just get into whip making after you post a more in depth tutorial video just to answer these questions on my own. Still, I greatly appreciate your artistry and your efforts to make this new paracord available to everyone. Thank you.
Hey Nick, thank you once again for your insight and amazing altruism. It has been such a pleasure watching your technique improve and develop over the years. Whipmaking is a joy, thank you for inviting us all into your world. I look forward to more videos in the future.
Thats a beautiful end taper you can achieve with that new material! Thanks for sharing as always. I made my first whip thanks to an older video of yours and I am very pleased with the end results, crude as they may be! ♥
Well knowing how to braid is one thing that's what I want to learn to do it's not easy I could sit here and watch you all day and then curse for the rest of the day while I'm trying to do it
I made some whips with this stuff and it really helped get a better taper and i can make a 3 belly whip and it still be as thick as a 2 belly whip in 550 cord thank you nicks whip shop for making this stuff I love it
Hey Paul, We have started doing international shipping! Just country by country to make sure we get the laws right... er, sort of anyway! Where are you? Email me at support@theparacordstore.com Cheers, Vince
Nicks Channel is full of tutorials and guidelines of how to make whips. from bullships to snake whips.. and as he has learned new techniques he has shared them with US!
As a rule, I make my longer whips triple belly and 20 plait. That's for density and balance. But with this 3mm cord? Highest strand count I'll have ever worked with
Very nice brother. That whip looks lovely, well done.

The difference is it's thin and flat. Like the difference between 550 and 650 coreless
That's a very sharp looking whip! At first sight it reminded me of Dacron.
Thanks Connor! Yes, it has that similar look.
It's almost like a synthetic version of thin strands of roo hide, should be great for fancy fine plaiting patterns on handles etc, looks great, I have a very fine roo hide bullwhip made by joe strain, and you can see the strand dropping on that too. thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! Yes, i'm looking forward to doing some fancy plaiting with it too.
Are you going to do a whip tutorial with this new material? I would really like to see one. Great video.
Will order some to try.
Not sure how soon, but yes!
NicksWhipShop
Oh thank you! You are the best!
Do you by any chance like cattle and horses?
snakewhip 9ft more schock load wanna see it with that matirial and would be cool to see you make it
i would make it myself but im not able to
Ive had reels of this 3mm paracord for years been hoping for a design for this stuff
Any updates on the strand lengths?
A new video...WOOHOO. Gotta get some of the 3mm
This is amazing, well i know what im getting when i get paid nexted week, new stock whip design in the works for just this cord

You're welcome Christian! Let me know how it turns out.
Is this the same as 325 or even 425 paracord?
dark96744 from what I can tell no. It appears that it is shipped flattened and not a cord with inner strands.
@@sterlinghamiltonracing6487 i wonder if i can remove the strands on 325 or 425 cord and achieve similar results. Hmmm only one way to find out right?
dark96744 definitely worth a shot. I would suggest flattening them first as well, there are multiple tutorials if you want to look it up. Also some brands of 550 have much smaller diameters than others so those could work as well.

From where do you buy paracord reels, I've searched many shops and haven't find anything
Beautiful whip, that roll out looks great. I need to experiment with some 24 plait patterns!
Thank you Adam! Yes, definitely give it a try. It's great stuff to plait.
when can we make orders for the new whip from the whipshop?
Have you ever mixed 550, 650 with the whip makers cord in one whip?
Love your vids and keep up with the nice intros to your great vids the intro is always the best part of all of your vids
Nice smooth looking. I like it. You did a good job for not doing one like it for awhile.
are the bellies also made with whipmaker cord, and if yes, do you use more stands there to?
Okay I like that with brother how much would you charge to make someone a whip like that
How much would you charge for an 8' whip made from that thinner cord?
Bro it’s Corliss the worst part of whip making is gutting the strands and it looks thiiiiiiiiiiiin as crap in love it
Do you ever use an English Eye fall Hitch?
Hey Nick, thnx for this video. Nice to see you try new options, allowing me to know if something is worth to try! It is really important for whipmakers. Keep up the nice work dude!
Thank you very much Peter!
Yeah whoops of came a long way since leather
Nice Job Nick! Made it happen man
Nick this looks amazing! I can't wait to put in an order and experiment with this cord. This could lead to some fun ideas. Thank you so much for this!
Thanks Patrick! You're welcome.
What are the material for whip making
Rut Roh! ;)
Like always love the video keep it up

I would like to build my Signal Whip with this material... I don't think I can find it in Europe.
I hope they will create more colours ^^
Great Info! - Have you created more whips using this material - do you have a more definitive evaluation for using this as an overlay
I love your videos and even though I'm still new to the whole whip community, it's still exciting to hear about new advances. Thank you
Thats a beautiful end taper you can achieve with that new material! Thanks for sharing as always. I made my first whip thanks to an older video of yours and I am very pleased with the end results, crude as they may be! ♥
That sounds amazing!!!!
Another advantage for a smaller diameter strand is the possibility for at tighter braid? Since you can apply more pull on a narrower area.
Have you experienced any advantages using the new strands with regard to using the whip, cracking, etc ?
Well knowing how to braid is one thing that's what I want to learn to do it's not easy I could sit here and watch you all day and then curse for the rest of the day while I'm trying to do it
Do you have recent strand measurements for this 24 plait.
I’d love to own one of your whips one day, great looking whips and very functional
Looking forward to trying out this cord in the future, just wish I could get it in neon green!
Not new by any stretch been done for years man... But good work anyway.
I wonder how well this would work with an english eye style fall
So only the overlay is made with the 3mm strands?
Dude is that your yard? Rocking
How much for that 24 plait bull whip?
I would do this but I would need a new steal rod.
Very good info. Thanks for sharing.
I made some whips with this stuff and it really helped get a better taper and i can make a 3 belly whip and it still be as thick as a 2 belly whip in 550 cord thank you nicks whip shop for making this stuff I love it
you're welcome!
In your Patreon instructions, it does not specify whether the third belly is made of normal 550/650 or the new material. Which is it? I assume 550/650
Thanks, for the input. It has been corrected. All bellies are of 550 or 650.
Nice whip what are the strand lengths
Thanks for the tutorials you make . You are a great inspiration. Love frome the Netherlands.
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
Beautiful whip! 💚
Make playlists.
Hey Nick we are trying to find the 3mm paracord. The link is taking us to 3/16 whip makers cord. Is this the right stuff?
Hi Alice, my apologies I should have made this clear. It is the same stuff. Loose it is 3/16" but when pulled tight in plaiting it shrinks down.
Thank you.
Did you wax it?
Tanks
It's a shame the paracord store doesn't do international shipping
Hey Paul, We have started doing international shipping! Just country by country to make sure we get the laws right... er, sort of anyway! Where are you? Email me at support@theparacordstore.com Cheers, Vince
@@therealparacordstore thanks for your reply I have emailed you
nice.....
Nicely done but why dont you use just 275Paracord? its even thinner than this cord^^
275 is thinner, but even when gutted it lays very round. I personally like the flatter look and feel.
@@NicksWhipShop okay, sounds legit. Sadly they dont ship to germany
@@NicksWhipShop makes me want to break out the wife's iron and give it a nice crease lmao
Any tips for beginner whip makers
Most of my videos are designed for beginners. Is there a certain part that you are wanting to know more about?
NicksWhipShop tips for plaiting

The Paracord Store has already sold out of Black and Red, i'll have to snag some black when it's back in stock.
Interesting is it a lace or is it still gutted paracord?
Hey Isaac, it is gutted paracord.
stop speaking with asmr
As a rule, I make my longer whips triple belly and 20 plait. That's for density and balance. But with this 3mm cord? Highest strand count I'll have ever worked with
I have bad news, they send the paracod not to germany im so sad :'(
Is that the 425 size
My exact question, 425 or 325 coreless right?
Awesome!!
Did you fix/adjust the strand lengths yet? I'm trying to make a whip out of the material.
