: Hello forum people,

: I know I've mentioned this before, but aren't the film whips supposed to be 12 plait? Yet here we have another auction description talking about 16 plait. Why do they keep making this mistake?

: Also, would they really have used the same whip in all three films? Surely a new one would have been supplied for each one.

This isn't necessarily a mistake, as it may be one of Ford's whips he used for the target work, which is exactly what a 16 plait would be used for. The 12 plait would have been used for any stunt type work and would have been the more prominent version on his belt. Regards. Michaelson
