reset Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Who would have thought. Damascus steel in a fly vise. Absolutely beautiful wood case it comes with to. Now thats eye candy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly007 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have been thinking about ordering the automatic bobbin as it uses a regular spool so there is no need to reload and have the extra cost of more spools. Maybe should just bite the bullet and find out how well it really works and if it matches up to the Norbobbin. Made in Canada, the quality should be just fine, I will check them out.

SilverDoctor Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Fly007 - Are you talking about the Ekich Bobbin? That vice is a hand mad knock off of the Law vice in Damascus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly007 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yes I am referring to the Ekich Bobbin. In the display box I see the bobbins and the Ekich name plate. It looks just like the ones on their website. Unless I am looking at the wrong add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I do own an Ekich. Not all spools work on it as it needs to catch on the ribs of a spool and some don't have the "rib" that its little spike need to catch on. You can use a plastic insert to overcome this. Also unlike the Nor Bobbins that I use most of the time, you do need to occasionally release the tension on the spool by pulling the spool away from the bobbin and letting it unwind. Otherwise, the bobbin itself is really nice to work with, feels great in the hand and nice to tie with. I notice on their site there is a new model in their line.
