FishDragon 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 No. Unfortunately he stopped producing these vices. Ebay may be your best bet but they are going for over $2000.00. I haven't tried one of these vices but I am planning on getting onehttp://www.jvice.com/ Forgot to say "Welcome". Great forums here and alot of great tyers as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 I brought a Jvice and think its great. Use the search function and look over the various threads on vices as if you are spending big bucks you want to be sure it suits you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 8, 2013 Lawrence Waldren stopped taking orders for the vise about two years ago. He did sell the rights to the design to someone but I'm not sure if any knock-offs have been produced. I was offered $2,000 for mine when I was tying at a show last year. but I could never part with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Si_ 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 There is a knock-off, but I don't believe the guy bought the rights. I think it is a straight up copy. I could be wrong and may be corrected by someone here. http://www.caeengineeringservices.com/ It has taken a hammering on some of the UK fly dressing sites. Does not seem to be well received. There used to be prices on the website but can't seem to find them any more. From memory it was about £300-£400. If I were going to be spending that kind of money I would buy a Jvice if I were you.

SILKHDH 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 I saw this and I know the truth. I have E-mailed Lawrence himself. This all came about when I contacted him to ask if I could start making LAW style vises to sell. He wrote this in his letter to me. He would not appreciate me making his LAW style vises to sell. Which was fine by me, that's why I asked him first. He also said, and I quote "He has never said he was not ever going to make the vises again . He is taking a break from it " He did not say how long of a break. I brought up the copy vise to him made by CAE engineering. His reply was that he wasn't happy about it but he was not going to take any legal actions. Life is too short. He also told me the person was thrown out of a fly tying show in England for showing this copy vise. This is from Lawrence himself. So take it to the bank or write him yourself like I did.
