Sjambok, African Whip by Cold Steel
54 Inch


In Africa the sjambok is a whip as well as a cattle prod, a riding crop or an aid for self-defence. Unlike most Western-style whips, the sjambok is not made from thin braided leather thongs, but is worked from an especially thick piece of hippopotamus hide. For this reason also called Nilpferdpeitsche (hippo whip) in Germany, it has earned, thanks to its considerable reach, its incredible speed and its devastating effect, the reputation of a reliable instrument for fending off deadly snakes.

The sjambok is not cracked like a conventional Western whip. Instead it is used like a rod or a stick. Its weight, its speed and the flexibility of its stroke therefore do all the work, and it takes no great skill to master its correct handling.

Since hippopotamus hide is quite rare nowadays and economically unviable, Cold Steel offers a plastic replica of the classic sjambok.

In appearance and performance Cold Steel's synthetic sjambok even equals the most expensive originals. It is injection-moulded from polypropylene and has a thick, powerful lash and a soft, comfortable Kray-Ex™ handle that imitates braided leather.
Since it is made entirely of extremely tough plastic, it is also weather-resistant and, unlike leather, will neither tear or crack nor shrink or mould.

Cold Steel's sjambok will without any doubt be the most practical and highest-performing whip you have ever owned.
