Re: Danvise. Actually it's graphite reinforced Delrin, which is type of very tough nylon. Polycarbonate, would be way to brittle. I've got a Danvise, and it works well for me . For my type of tying though the extended arm was a must (got that through BTs flyfishing, Al Beatty's business). Pretty it is not...but it is very functional. I think with the extension arm, I've got under $110 into it. I do all my tying on it except for the very largest saltwater flies (for that the old Thompson with the saltwater jaws gets used).

How about the Danvise? that is made from Kevar or something non-metal for the body. It is graphite-reinforced plastic, probably a polycarbonate matrix. It is very functional, at a really good price. But, it is butt-ugly... Henk =============================== ><(((((º> =============================== | Dr. Henk J.M.
