So Why Do You Use The Vise You Do????

[Dave E]

Why? I'd love to give you some technically driven tying answer, but that simply wouldn't be true.

I tie a mix of Saltwater, Steelhead and Trout files. But that's not really the reason I tie on the vise I use, any number of vises will do those things well.

Maybe its because when I started looking for a new vise I asked Cal ( Bird ) how he liked his, he had nothing but great things to say about it and recommended I try one out. But that's not the real reason I tie on this specific vise.

It's because a dear friend and client of mine presented it to me a couple of days after he overheard what Cal said to me. So I've been tying on it since.
It's coming up on 25 years since then and I still think of them both when I sit down to tie.
It's an early Dyna-King Professional and I'm riding this baby into the sunset.
