This is the twelfth LAW fly tying vice it has been my honour to offer for sale.
There is a general consensus among fly tyers that the LAW vice was the best ever made, both in terms of quality and function. The unique and innovative Waldron design has been emulated but never equalled.
This vice is in mint condition and comes with a nice selection of accessories, all designed and made by Lawrence Waldron. They are:
The pedestal base.
The C-clamp.
The stem extension.
The bead tray
The sight board.
The articulated bobbin holder.
The Allen key and owner’s pamphlet containing advice on use, care & maintenance.
The accompanying illustrations can be expanded so that you can examine the vice in minute detail.
Specification:
The jaws are made from 01 tool steel hardened and tempered by hand. They will accommodate hooks from size 30 to 10/0. They are opened and closed with ease and precision via a durable star wheel made from an aluminium-bronze alloy, which is superior to brass for this purpose.
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.
Condition report: The vice is in mint condition and spotlessly clean. I have checked it over very thoroughly and is freshly lubricated as per the maker’s instructions.
