Cold Steel Sjambok Whip 42" | Polypropylene, African Style, CS95SMBZ
In Africa, the Sjambok (Sham-Bawk) is a cattle prod, a whip, a riding crop and a means of self-protection. Unlike most western style whips, the Sjambok is not plaited from thin leather thongs. Instead, it is carved whole out of very thick Hippopotamus hide. Its considerable reach, lightning speed, and devastating impact have built it quite a reputation as a sure defence against deadly snakes.
Since the Sjambok is swung like a rod or stick and not cracked like a conventional western style whip, the weight, speed, and flexibility of the Sjambok’s lash do all the work and little skill is required to wield it effectively.
Today Hippo hide is pretty scarce and not commercially viable, so Cold Steel has decided to make a synthetic version of the classic Sjambok. Featuring a thick, beefy lash, injection moulded from polypropylene and equipped with a soft comfortable Kraton handle designed to resemble braided leather, Cold Steel's synthetic Sjambok rivals the look and performance of even the most expensive originals.
What’s more, since it’s made entirely from super tough plastic it’s impervious to the elements and will never break, crack, shrink or mildew-like leather is prone to do. Keep a Sjambok handy in your vehicle. Lay it across the dash, stash it behind the seat or toss it in the bed, trunk or boot.
Hang one on the wall near the door of your home, shop, barn, coop or kennel. And don’t forget to loop one over your saddle horn every time you go riding, as Cold Steel's Sjambok is sure to be the most useful and effective whip you have ever owned.

Sjambok Whip
By: Nick on 11 November 2024Having purchased the 54”version of this I decide to go ahead and purchase the 42”. version. I Have to say the shorter version is more compact and controllable while the longer version has a longer reach.which is a better option of your out walking in the bush.

Defence from deadly snakes
By: Jurek Toczynski on 27 April 2023I purchased the Sjambok whip 42" recently and have found it to live up to its claim for quality. It is very tough, flexible and tapered from the handle to the tip .The handgrip is good as it will not slip out from your hand when it is needed for self defence from deadly snakes and we here in Australia have the most deadly snakes in the world. This sjambok has already come to the defence of my dog who out of curiosity went to investigate a snake when out on a regular walk. The outcome is sjambok 1, snake 0. I do look forward to the 54" Sjambok coming available for purchase as the extra reach can only increase the safety margin from attacks from deadly snakes

By: Wayne on 18 June 2022I have to be honest I have a couple of these one for the house, and one for the vehicle. Probably one of the better anti theft devices I own.

Acceptable replica of traditional sjambok
By: Alan on 19 March 2019Cold Steel has been making this product for many years and the vast majority of reviews are positive. It is a replica of a traditional sjambok and could be used as a non-lethal last resort to deter a dog attack if you live in an area where dog on dog attacks are a problem. Its defensive advantage is its length and swinging force. However it will stand out in a public place so cannot be recommended for public display. It is not rigid enough to use as a walking pole/stick and I replaced the cheap plastic holding loop with a strip of leather.

Sjambok
12 August 2018Awesome whip, great price really for a sturdy piece that is worth having just for the hell of it. Amazed at how hard it hits with a flick of the wrist. I definitely wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it. Handle is slightly uncomfortable but not uncomfortable enough to not get it for this price. Apparantly these are good against snakes which in australia is handy. Would have given a 5 out of 5 if the handle was a bit more comfortable, what you see is what you get. Good thing to stock extac, well done.
