Have to agree with Preston. $600 is kinda steep. Have heard some good things about this vise:
http://www.anvilusa.com/apex_fly_tying_vise.htm Looks well built and a few people I have talked to like it a lot.I am a renzetti guy myself. I have the traveler and cannot say enough good things about it. Had a $20 thompson style vise before and all together had given up on tying. Then I bought the renzetti and my tying proficiency and skill went up almost immediately. I recommend the cam jaws and the rotary adjustment takes a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it it is easy. I paid $140 for it and think it is well worth it. It has already paid for itself many times over. -sean Preston Singletary wrote: > No, there is no vise in the world worth $600; get a grip!
