These are two bullwhips recently finished. It is interesting to note the subtle differences between them.
The above bullwhip is an 8 foot long Raiders pattern whip. The handle is thinner, about .8 inches and the decorative ring knot is darker and placed right at the 8 inch mark on the handle. The lash is a bit lighter as well with the diameter right about .9 inches where it leaves the handle. 
The above bullwhip is an 8 foot Last Crusade pattern whip. The handle is a little thicker than the Raiders whip at .9 inches. Notice how the handle swells slightly into the decorative ring knot. The ring knot is placed slightly lower the handle at the 7 1/2 inch mark. The lash is heavier as well having a diameter of 1 inch where it leaves the handle.
