C&F's design philosophy is to create tools for the Fly Tyer that simply fit the human hand like natural extensions, and Teh Reference Vise is part of this realisation.

The Reference Black boasts a range of top drawer features and functions, like Magnetic Jaws, Link Arm and outstanding rotation function that set it apart as possibly the best Vice C&F have ever produced.

Link Arm
• We adapted new and unique link-system to arm to change the level of jaw. It can change level without changing angle of the jaw.
• When change the level of the jaw, touch and move operation shaft on the side.

Rotary Function
• After set a hook to the jaw, adjust the arm. It is very easy to see the center of the hook.
• When turn the jaw, loosen the screw of the arm, then turn the handle located back of the vise. It is very handy to check proportion of the fly and to tie palmer hackle such as wooly bugger or elk hair caddis.

Left-handed
• It can be changed from right handed to left handed use.
• First, rotate jaw then take off rotary shaft brake knob and install from the other side.

Magnetic Jaw
• Inside of the jaw has magnet. Hook can be held temporally in the jaw. It makes easier for tier to adjust the position of the hook. Especially it is very useful for smaller than #20 hooks.
• 2 screw lock system gives delicate but definite hold. It holds from #32 to #5/0 hooks.
