    Default Jvice knuckle Stem

    Hi,
    Got the knuckle stem for my Jvice.
    Have the vise in a Stonfo base as easier to move than the tying table type base the Jvice comes with.

    Not showing a specific use of the adjustment capability.....just giving an idea of possible uses.

    With many(not all) true rotary vises, you can't put the jaws in a 45 degree angle. This allows a great deal of flexibility.

    Looks nice Byron.

    I imagined trying to justify it for myself but can't for my tying. Hope I don't get the "Ah nuts!" feeling after I okay the PDF invoice and send in my $$ Monday morning. Got around 12 hrs. to decide!!

    It's basically your fault...

    It will be fine. You will really enjoy your new tying tools!

    It's a feature that, while not critical to tying a great fly, some tyers would find highly useful. Takes "rear hook access" from excellent to near unlimited. A good heads-up for anyone considering purchasing a Jvice.

    Of course, many simple, non-rotary vises permit the same access.

    The prior version was slightly different:

    Bugsy
    I have that one, but like this version much better. Buttery smooth.
    I must admit that I like the finish of yours better, but I think black was the only option when I got mine.
    It also came with the rather blunt original jaws before he made the "pro jaws".

    How would you rate the Jvice for tying?
