From a Spark in the Park to the World Stage

The Origin My journey with the whip didn't start in a factory; it started in a park in 2018. I was just passing by when the sound of a cracking whip caught my attention. I watched the local enthusiasts flow with their steel chains, and I was instantly hooked. That moment changed everything. I went from a spectator to a collector, and finally, to a craftsman.

The Craft & Credibility Before launching KirinWhip.com for the world, I spent years serving the most demanding customers in the home of the chain whip—China. My whips are trusted by thousands of practitioners across platforms like Taobao, JD, and Douyin, and are the group-buy choice for many professional Whip Associations.

Today, my production model is rigorous: I partner with top-tier steel manufacturers to source the best raw materials, while personally overseeing the assembly, polishing, and crafting of custom accessories. Every link matters.

The Collection: Exploring the Limits of Steel We don't just make one type of whip. We offer a diverse arsenal for every style:

  • The Classics: Our foundation lies in the time-tested Threaded, Dragon Keel, and Flat Link designs.

  • The Unique Series: For those seeking distinctive aesthetics and handling, we craft the Bamboo Joint, Gourd, Date Pit, Cobalt Alloy, and the intricate Bearing Steel "Double Petal" editions.

  • The Heavyweights: For practitioners chasing extreme power, we forge heavy-duty Manganese Steel Kirin Whips. These range from 5 Jin to 60 Jin (approx. 5.5 lbs to 66 lbs).

Whether you need a specific handle, a custom cracker, or a unique lash, we build it.

The Man Behind the Brand A note on my own practice: I am an enthusiast first, and a master in training. While I spend most of my days perfecting the tool so you can perfect the art, I am still learning the advanced flows myself. Running a brand and managing production keeps me busy, but my passion for the whip never fades. I consider myself a student of the steel, just like many of you. I promise to keep improving my skills alongside you. Let's grow together.
