If you can find an old Hazet 863F they are pretty smooth. Had one for many years. Smooth back is nice as you can put pressure on it with a thumb or finger when turning.

Malco

Wilton with smooth jaws. Not sure the year of manufacture.

USAG, Craftsman & Xcelite

I use a similar version of one of these. Probably from the 40’s or 50’s. Works fine.
