LAW Fly Tying Vice.

This is an especially nice, clean example of the best, most beautifully made and designed vice of all time. They are no longer made and the opportunity to obtain one of these masterpieces does not happen every day.

The accompanying illustrations can be expanded so that you can examine the vice in minute detail.

This example has been used, but with great care and respect. It remains in exceptional condition.

Specification:

The jaws are made from CR12 tool steel hardened to Rockwell RC58. They will accommodate hooks from size 30 to 10/0. They are opened and closed with ease and precision via a brass star wheel.

The vice is adjustable in every direction and rotates through its Delrin body.

The ample pedestal base enables the tyer to use the vice wherever a flat surface is to be found. It has a central well for materials and a suede pad on which to place hooks in readiness for mounting. The underside of the base has a non-slip suede covering.

It has an adjustable articulated LAW bobbin cradle

It has its Allen key that adjusts all of the vice’s Allen screws.

Condition report: ‘Near mint’ is a term open to quite a bit of interpretation and tends to be used generously, but this fabulous LAW vice is just that. It has two pinhead sized nicks in the white vitreous finish on the pedestal base and a small chip out of one edge of the suede on the underside of the base. Aside from that, it is physically perfect and of course, it is 100% mechanically perfect.

I have cleaned and serviced this vice in strict accordance with the instructions given by Lawrence Waldron in the owner’s manual (also supplied).
