Cold Steel Knives Sjambok, Black, 54.00 In.

Originally used by South African cowherds to help navigate their herd, kill snakes, and drive the animals, the sjambok is still in use today, but has since been ported to a personal-use self-defense application. The sjambok is traditionally made from rhino or hippo hide but the ingenuity of Cold Steel Knives has updated this unique tool with ultra-durable synthetic material and a comfortable kraton handle for maximum control. This 54″ model has an impressive reach, as well as lightning-like striking power and speed. Its unique construction means it is a tool that is swung or swatted, rather than cracked like a whip, and it has considerable power! Its lash is injection molded from polypropylene and is made to resemble braided leather, giving it an old-world look, but unlike leather, this sjambok won’t wear away or become brittle from use outdoors.
