bullhide

Tough bovine skin

Bullhide is the hide of a bull, typically tanned into a thick, durable leather.

The material is prized for its toughness and used in heavy-duty applications: whips, belts, protective gear, and industrial uses where ordinary leather would wear through.

He carried a bullhide whip coiled at his hip.
