: It says the whip is a 16 plait whip that is for sale. I thought Indy's whip was 12....Anybody know why this is?

Matt, I think they are mistaken in their description. They auctioned off another bullwhip from the Indiana Jones films earlier in the year, which they also described as a 16 plait whip. From the photo they are displaying, the plaiting looks too wide to be 16 plait.
Also while its been a while since I watched the Temple of Doom scene Shawnkara mentioned, I think most of the wrap was done with the fall. However the braided end of these bullwhips are more than capable of wrapping a wrist even if the whip is still a little stiff.
