Almost every culture throughout the galaxy utilizes some form of whip, be it for driving farm animals, showing slaves who's boss, or to lacerate the skin of one's foes. Whips often have sharp sections of metal woven into the tip or throughout the length of the weapon to improve their offensive capability. A notable user of the whip was the fictional adventurer 'Bantha-rider Bones,' a Sullustan who traveled the galaxy searching for artifacts, battling evil regimes and thwarting their misbegotten schemes, all while wearing an over-sized hat.
