Lawrence Waldron’s masterpiece is widely regarded as the best vice ever made, flawless in construction and design. Production ceased some years ago. This represents an increasingly rare opportunity to obtain fly tying’s most iconic and important piece of equipment.
Although lightly used, this vice is in exceptional condition. There is no wear or corrosion to any of its component parts and one would have to search very had to detect any signs of use.
Desirable extras include pedestal and table clamp options, a stem extension, universally adjustable bobbin cradle, material clip, Allen key and a very useful LAW travel case.
