Positive pressure fly-tying vise

A vise for holding objects comprising:

• a vise body having a proximal end and a distal end and a central longitudinal axis;
• engagement jaws mounted on the distal end of the vise body, the engagement jaws being moveable between an open object-receiving position and a closed object-holding position, the engagement jaws remaining parallel to each other as they are moved between their open and closed positions;
• wherein the engagement jaws extend longitudinally along a portion of the central longitudinal axis from the distal end to the proximal end;
• the engagement jaws further comprise a first engagement jaw and a second engagement jaw interconnected to the vise body, and the engagement jaws each comprise a parallel interior plane therebetween and a parallel exterior plane opposite the parallel interior plane;
• a double lobed cam mounted to the vise body along the central longitudinal axis, positioned perpendicular between the first engagement jaw and the second engagement jaw;
• wherein the actuation of the double lobed cam applies a positive pressure to the parallel interior planes of the engagement jaws moving the engagement jaws from the open object-receiving position to the closed object-holding position;
• one or more of a spring located between the parallel exterior planes of each engagement jaw and the vise body, the springs are configured to apply an expanding force between the engagement jaws and the vise body in the open object-receiving position;
• and
• an orifice on the proximal end of the vise body capable of receiving a first end of an elongate shaft, wherein the elongate shaft is removably attached to the vise body.
