I would consider the Mongoose Blackfoot for two reasons: 1. It is a very functional vice with pedestal, c-clamp, etc as standard for a reasonable price. 2, It is an attractive piece of hardware. Tying with a nice vice is a pleasure in itself.
It is my choice for a reasonably priced vice. r ______________________________________________ Reuven Segal B. Engineering (Aerospace)- Final Year B.

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).

Are Griffen Montana's good for an intermediate fly tyer? The Griffin Montana is a fair intermediate vice. 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...
