Legacy C Stainless Steel Rotary Fly Tying Vice

Unbeatable Fly-Tying Vises by Norvise

Vise and Post included. Base options are purchased separately.

The Original Legacy vise hit the market in late 2016. It is very near and dear to my heart as it was the last project Norm and I finished together. Since then, hundreds of Legacy Vises have hit the market. When I was at Norm’s house, and we were talking about the future of the company and some of the things he was thinking about, he made a statement that has stuck with me; “a colored Norvise would be kind of neat.”

We brought Norm’s wish to life when we released our latest style vise in the fall of 2020, the Legacy C. Just like the original Legacy vise, we replaced all the Brass hardware with high-quality 303 Stainless Steel. So, if you like your tools to remain clean and bright, you will love the Stainless hardware on the Legacy C, and if you are a fan of cool colors, the Legacy C is definitely for you!

There are five colours to choose from. Liberty Blue is kept in stock, other colour options can be special ordered in as required.

• Radical Red – special order
• Sunset Orange – special order
• Shamrock Green – special order
• Royal Purple – special order
• Liberty Blue – in stock

As experienced fly tiers know, the revolutionary rotary fly-tying vise by Norvise has advantages over other rotary vises. The benefits Norvise makes our vise a tool of both art and science — yielding a lifetime of fly-tying success.

Centerline Perfection

Norvise positions the hook on a perfect rotational centerline, allowing the hook to be spun, replacing tiresome hand-over-hand wrapping. Then, with the hook’s shank always aligned to the center, the material is “turned” or “spun” onto the hook; this provides a tier less labor time and is a frustration saver.

Body Material, Hackle, and Dubbing

Precision ball bearing and heavy brass hubs enable Norvise to work like a spinning wheel for the world’s most fluid dubbing, creating perfectly shaped and textured bodies. Working thread, other body materials, and hackles are applied better, faster, and easier than any other method.

Other Configurations

The Norvise system accommodates several jaw configurations that quickly and easily mount onto the vise arbor. These configurations will handle nearly any fly-tying situation — from tiny, delicate trout flies to large saltwater patterns — each different “configuration” excels in specific applications.

Norvise offers five rotary fly-tying jaws: The Standard Inline Jaws, Large Saltwater Jaws, the Fine Point Jaws, the Tube Fly System, and our latest addition, the Shank Jaws. We can order in Jaws as required.

The Standard Norvise includes our most popular and versatile configuration: Standard Size Brass Hubs, Standard Inline Jaws, a matching Thread Post, mounting hardware*, allen wrench, set-up, operating instructions, and an hour-long instructional video by the inventor of the Norvise, Norm Norlander.

To expand your Norvise’s fly tying capabilities to be able to tie large saltwater flies, tube flies, or much smaller flies, like dry flies and nymphs, extra small stuff, simply just add the jaw that best suits your tying style to your cart. There is no need to purchase another vise.
