As someone brand new to fly tying, in a separate thread, I got some good
advice about purchasing a vice. I'm thinking about the Dan-vise or the
Anvil Apex. Can these be purchased at a discount at the show, or should
I just go ahead and buy one over the internet?
Thx.

Rich,
If you are going to buy a vise, I would recommend against the Anvil. I have
one that has sat for many years. It is not a finger friendly vise. The jaws
are held in an oddly circular head which makes holding materials awkward. As
well, it is not a true rotary vise. Before you buy one try ying some small
flyz on one --size 16-20 or smaller. I don't think you will be happy with
your hand options.

My recommendation is the Renzetti Traveler. More money, yes, but you will
find it is infinitely more user friendly, IMMHO.
