Memory lane indeed, Byron.

The Xuron was the second vise I bought, and I tied on it, hard, for two/three years - before replacing it with an HMH Premium.

I bought my Xuron off Eric Leiser's The Rivergate store - at the time the price was $37,50. It is a bulletproof design, and an under-rated vise in today's world.

Cheers,
