Xena's Whip

Ive always wanted to make this entry, why? Xena's whip has been always one of my favourite props from the Warrior Princess.

Xena uses her whip in several episodes during all the series. One of the more recognizables episodes was "The Price" from season two. "Devi" from season 4.The funny moment when Gabrielle makes an exchange with Minya for a frying pan in "A day in a life", season two. Or when Gabrielle wraps it arround her waist in "The black wolf" from season 1.

2x20 - Xena stretches the whip to dodge an ax from the Hordes, great moment!

The original whip was made of leather, a metal haddle with paua shells inlay and was wrapped with a black leather strap. During the production some whips were made of foam or resin. It is a awesome craftman work with plenty of ornament details. 

Creation Entertainment decided to produce this great prop in a Limited Edition of 15 whips worldwide.The first 15 whips had the number written, however, the demand was a bit stronger and decided to make a few more, but not more than 50, although the total number is still unknown it is known that are a very reduced number.

As well as I've been collecting screencaps from the several episodes where the whip is seen Ive found some interesting pictures.

1x11 - The Black wolf, Gabrielle wears the whip around her stomach to help her friend who is in jail. And if you get closer to the second picture you will see that the whip doesnt have the paua shells inlay that used to had, 

maybe because they came off the whip before or was just a mistake of the production or wardrobe team.

1x12 - Beware greeks bearing gifts. Xena holds her whip in the chakram hook. Do you know that in this episode Xena leather costume had two hooks on each side of the hip, one to hold the chakram and the other for the whip.

4x14 - Devi. Again Xena stretches the whip to fight against Tataka demon. I think in this episode Xena used a foam whip.

4x20 - Endgame, Xena carries the whip before fighting with the roman army.
