As of this posting, all our Glide and Tail Vises, both M and C series are now shipping with our new, aluminum knobs. Vises are no longer supplied with Dymondwood (M series) or infused beech (C series) The knobs are coated with a vintage-style finish seen on camera bodies, drafting equipment, electronics, and classic tools. The satin, black-wrinkle coating gives a great tactile feel that is superior in use to our previous knobs, which had a slick finish. A different aesthetic for sure, but one that fits with our ethos and product line. In the event a customer has damaged or misplaced a knob, please contact us directly for replacement options.
