The Classic Kirin Whip — Thirteen Stages of Silver Flow经典平面麒麟鞭 · 十三段银色流光
The most recognisable chain in seventeen hundred years of Chinese chain-whip tradition — and the smoothest one we make.
This is the most iconic form of the Chinese chain whip — the Flat Kirin. Link by link, every ring is hand-welded from flat-ground stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. Coiled, it forms near-perfect concentric circles of silver. In motion, it flows like water.
From handle to tip the chain steps down through 13 precisely graded stages — progressively finer from root to end, each transition seamless. The result is a whip that moves with no stutter and no hesitation: pure, unbroken flow from the first crack to the last.
THE CHAIN · 平面链条
Thirteen Stages, One Continuous Flow
13 段渐变 · 一线到底
Every link is individually hand-welded from 304 stainless steel — the same food- and medical-grade alloy used in surgical instruments and kitchenware. Each link is then hand-polished to a mirror finish, giving the chain its signature silver sheen. Coiled, it forms near-perfect concentric circles; in motion, it flows like water.
The chain steps down through 13 distinct stages — heaviest near the handle for control, finest near the tip to accelerate the crack. Each transition is engineered to be invisible to the eye but unmistakable to the hand: smooth, fluid, without a single moment of resistance.

About 304 Stainless Steel · 关于 304 不锈钢
304 is the most widely used grade of stainless steel — the same food- and medical-grade alloy found in surgical instruments, cookware and kitchen sinks. It is chosen for being corrosion-resistant, rust-proof and hypoallergenic.
For a whip that means a chain which stays bright and clean through years of handling and sweat.
304 是应用最广的不锈钢牌号，医疗器械和厨具用的就是它：耐腐蚀、不生锈、不易过敏。用在鞭上，就是常年握持出汗也依旧光亮。
Fitness, Performance, Martial Art · 健身 · 表演 · 武术
In China the Kirin Whip is first and foremost a fitness practice. The swing is driven from the waist and hips, so a session works the core, shoulders and grip together — and the rhythm of it is what keeps people coming back.
It is practised by children and by people in their seventies and eighties, in parks and public squares, with regular national gatherings and competitions held across the country. Performance and martial-arts routines grow out of that same base.
在中国，麒麟鞭首先是一项健身运动：腰马合一，力由腰胯驱动，练的是核心、肩背和握力。几岁的小朋友到七八十岁的老人都在练，全国有定期举办的麒麟鞭大会与比赛。表演与武术套路，都是从这个基础上长出来的。
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER · 创始人寄语
"When someone tells me they want to learn a real Kirin Whip, this is the one I hand them. It's smooth, it's balanced, and honestly — it's the most beautiful whip we make. Thirteen stages of tapered silver, catching light like water."
"This is the whip that taught me to respect this craft. I still train with it on Sunday mornings. Every Flat Kirin that leaves our Dengfeng workshop has been hand-inspected. If the chain doesn't flow perfectly, we don't ship it."
