Default New vice suggestions

I am thinking of retiring my Veniards Salmo vice after 40 years sterling service.Any suggestions on a suitable replacement on a budget of up to £100.

Both choices mentioned by H50 above see heavy usage here in the States. Personally I use the HMH and it's bullet proof.

Had an HMH & a Salmo it (the HMH) was okay, but my Dyna-King has had a had life & it looks/feels/works identically to the day I bought it (Second-hand) some 25+ years ago. Will never need to change it.

Had the Dyna-King Kingfisher for at least 12 years. Brilliant. For small flies 8-28, the Kingfisher with midge jaws is in the price range ($149 in the US) and indestructible. Nice machning, still made in the US.

PS in our rather interesting society where licentious violence is quite enjoyed, we have to use the term "bathroom" and are only allowed to spell the hook gripping appartus mentiomned as "vise"!

I am always cautious about suggesting anything,but for me I would go for the HMH pedestal.
Bought one 2 years ago and wish I could have afforded it 30 years before!

Im maybe missing the point here but if people read his post it is for a £100 budget so you can rule out everything that has been said
