This black leather paddle is modeled after the classic fraternity style. It is more flexible than a wooden paddle, yet still rigid enough to give a good _whap_. Made from 2 pieces of smooth, yet heavy, latigo leather sewn together with a Steel Spring inside, it is 16 1/2 _ long (including the 6_ handle) and 3 1/4 _ wide at the business end. It contains a nickel-plated eyelet at the end of the handle and a loop of rawhide lace for hanging.
