The Flagship of Every Kirin Whip We Make 不锈钢龙骨麒麟鞭 · 麒麟鞭中的旗舰
⚔ ENDORSED BY A HOLLYWOOD LEGEND
"These are very nice. Very good. The best I've ever seen. The fact that it tapers down — gets smaller and smaller — excellent."
— ANTHONY DE LONGIS
Hollywood Whip Master · Trainer of Harrison Ford & Michelle Pfeiffer

This is the Stainless Steel Dragon Bone Kirin Whip — the single most iconic Kirin Whip in our collection. Its chain is the reason Hollywood whip master Anthony De Longis called our tapered construction "the best he's ever seen in a metal whip." It's the whip our founder reaches for when he wants to show the world what a real Chinese Kirin Whip can do.

As one of Anthony's top whip students, Gaëlane O'Toole, said after her first session with a Kirin Whip: "Chain whips are a different beast entirely from bullwhips, but what a thrill! Heavier, louder... Wilder. It's dangerous, it's beautiful, and the iPhone mic does NOT do that thunder any justice."

THE CHAIN · 龙骨链条

Hand-Welded 304 Stainless Steel,
Tapered in 10 Stages

304 不锈钢 · 10 段锥形渐变

The Dragon Bone chain is what every other Chinese chain whip tries — and fails — to imitate. Each link is hand-welded from 304 stainless steel, the same grade used in surgical instruments and marine hardware. Corrosion-resistant. Lifetime-durable. And forged into a shape that gives this whip its signature look: the dragon's backbone.

From handle to tip, the chain tapers through 10 precisely-engineered stages. Each stage is thinner than the last — thicker links near the handle for stability, smaller links at the tip for speed. The result is a continuous, organic flow of kinetic energy that's more like a living creature than a piece of metal.

This is what Anthony held in his hands during our 38-minute video call. This is the chain that made him stop mid-sentence and say: "The best I've ever seen."

Choosing the Right Weight

如何选择适合你的重量
FOR BEGINNERS
适合新手
2.20 lb & below
（1.0 kg 及以下）

If you're new to chain whips, start here. Light enough to learn proper form without fatigue, yet substantial enough to crack properly. Ideal weights: 1.76 lb (0.8 kg), 1.98 lb (0.9 kg), or 2.20 lb (1.0 kg).

FOR FLOW ARTS
适合套路与花样
2.20 lb & below
（1.0 kg 及以下）

Practicing set routines, body wraps, sharp direction changes, or intricate tricks? Lighter weights give you the speed and fluidity required for complex flow-art techniques.

FOR POWER & FITNESS
追求暴响与健身
3.31 lb – 4.41 lb
（1.5 – 2.0 kg）

Want the full sonic boom? The earth-shaking crack that lives up to Gaëlane's "Heavier, louder, wilder" description? Choose 3.31 lb (1.5 kg) or 4.41 lb (2.0 kg). These weights build real strength and deliver the stadium-filling thunder that made the Kirin Whip famous in China.

⚔ A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER · 创始人寄语

"The Dragon Bone is the whip I reach for when someone asks me what a real Kirin Whip feels like. It is not the lightest we make, nor the heaviest — but it is the one that carries the soul of this craft. When Anthony De Longis held it on camera and called the tapered chain 'the best he's ever seen,' I knew the thunder was crossing borders at last."

"Every Dragon Bone leaves our Dengfeng workshop hand-inspected. If it doesn't crack like thunder, we don't ship it."
