Got a nor-vise for my tying table vise, ended up selling my renzetti and my regal.

5 years later still love it, and there is no one that backs their vise like Norm. Have you ever called Regal and had "Mr. Regal" answer.

JC, I can't even imagine chipping a jaw on these, had a few chips in my regal though.

Versatile - nothing else ties 28 - 9/0 (yes I have) without changing the jaws. Nothing else spins, dubs, wraps tinsel or feathers, switches to a tube fly and back to a salmon fly vise like this one. I'm sure glad it's not as versatile as the "more standard" vises.

There is a learning curve with the bobbin etc., however once you get the norvise paradigm you won't go back.

Maybe tying in hand is easier to travel with but not by much.
