A leather paddle is a flexible spanking implement in the shape of a paddle and made of (usually thick and comparatively stiff) leather.
Leather paddles can be one or two layered. The two layered versions are more common and are made of two equal pieces of leather that are sewn together. Some of these have a spine of a different material, e.g. metal, for additional stiffness. The handle of a leather paddle can be from the same material as the rest (especially in double-layered paddles with a spine), or the leather is fixed into a wooden handle which provides a better grip.
Leather padddles are similar to straps, but they are typically stiffer and their shape widens whereas a strap is just straight. Also, straps are rarely double-layered. The paddle shape can be rounded or angular. Some leather paddles come with holes to reduce the air resistance, as in some wooden paddles.
The Knoppler paddle
A Knoppler paddle a short leather implement used to administer punishment in schools and prisons in Germany and nearby countries. It is normally 12" to 16" (30 to 40 cm) long and approx 5" (12 cm) wide. It is usually constructed from leather but wooden versions have also been seen. The use of the knoppler paddle has now spread worldwide and was adopted extensively in North America possibly because of immigration from Europe during the early 1930s.
