A stockwhip is a hand crafted item and requires care in the use and maintenance to get the best life out of it. The cracker and the fall of a whip are sacrificial items, they are both replaceable and do become damaged through constant use or misuse. Cracking the whip on concrete and bitumen does a lot of damage and should be avoided. If the cracker comes off, replace it immediately. Prolonged use of the whip without the cracker will shorten the life of the fall considerably. The regular use of a reputable leather dressing on the thong and fall will help to extend the life of the whip. If you whip becomes wet let it dry naturally.
