^-If you are fast enough with any weapon, it can be almost impossible to counter. Knives, Swords, Maces, Pistols, Fists, anything.

-Ripping someone's weapon out of their hands with a whip by pulling it would only have a real chance of happening if the whip somehow tangled in said weapon, which is normally unlikely to happen. Even with one of those "bladed whips", it's not likely-enough to happen to make it a viable strategy. If it simply hits a weapon, nothing noticeable will happen because a whip lacks the weight and force of, say, a hammer or sword, to break or even do anything to the weapon.

Now, if you hit someone's hand with a whip, sure, they can drop the weapon, but the same can be done with any other weapon.
