Goodluck getting 1, they are a rarity.

No offense, but I don't actually care about the vise.   It's just a color issue with me.  Once I realized it wasn't truly that color blue, I don't want it anymore.

@DFoster .   Very nice !

Very kind words, thank you.  I'm still struggling to use Starling in place of Jungle Cock for cheeks.   I love the look of that little dab of iridescence next to the "eye" but getting them to stay in place is proving tough.

I've found that if you flatten the JC stems w/ a pair of pliers they behave much better,
