Really nice vise. I'm loking for a new vise but Its a little out of my price range right now. I always liked the jaw design of your old vise. Is it a Stonfo? I have been looking at the Stonfo Kaiman. How did your old vise hold up? Did it develop any nicks or grooves? Thats the problem I have with any vise I've owned. They all develop a groove where most of the hooks sit. Good Luck! Thanks for sharing!
@@rickkirby5554 yeah my old vise is a Stonfo kaiman. It’s a strong vise, it never developed groves from holding the hooks. The kaiman is a good all round vise. The only thing that I found with it was that the jaws are very big and it’s difficult to tie size 22 flies
@@robbieb20 Thanks for the reply and the info. I no longer tie anything smaller than 18s( can no longer see them on the water ) so it might serve me well. BTW... your CDC emerger and CDC sedge were my go-to flies this summer so have to tie a box full this winter. Keep up the great work. Thanks!
Beautiful vise, enjoy
Thank you kindly
