Purple Heavy Cow Cat O Nine, StiffBlack diamond braid handle. I'm calling this piece a Cat because that is what it was meant to be. However the tails are so stiff I can not tie knots in them I've included a shot of them laid out straight so you can see the purple and marks. On a scale of 1 to 10 (Velvety Soft to Very Heavy Thud) this would be a 5 for thud, maybe. This one is built for Heavy Sting (9+). 14 tails, 25" long, 8" handle, 33" overall #2180
