I suppose like most, I learned to tie on a Thompson Model A Pro. And used that vise for years. A few years ago I got a Dan Vise and while not bad, I do have a few issues. I am thinking of going back to a more traditional vise and keep the Dan for tying buggers and such, or when I truly need a rotary. The ones I have been looking at are Regal, HMH (Spartan) and Dyna King (Squire or Voyager).

I did read Han's vise review on another board, but the thoughts of those here are always appreciated and highly regarded.
