Easily obtainable vise with rear dynamic jaw?

[Shoreline_]

My dad wants this style vise but outside of pictures of obscure used European vises I can't find one.

I think used (Ebay) is your only bet. I scored a nice 6" Bison last year at a pawn shop. I also have a smaller fpu.

Bison vise sells them in the USA new. About 1/2 way down the page

The FPU and others pop up around here on CL occasionally.

The easiest to obtain are the little clamp on ones

I haven’t ordered from Hoffman Group, but I think others have, and they supposedly ship to the US, or have distribution of some type in the US.
Garant is their house brand for tools, and Usually from quality manufacturers.

Looks like only the smaller non swivels are available new.

We have a Garant at work (here in Europe though...). It's about as good of a vice as it can be. Really nice jaws, very rigid construction, and it's only a 100mm wide vise (very massive for its size). We also have a Leinen Junior, which I think is also sold by Hoffmann. While I suspect the Garant is also made by Leinen, the Junior is not quite the same. I really like how massive the Leinen Junior is, the bottom "holder" of the fixed front jaw is all rounded... The old Schlegel EMF vises were also like this.

Is there a name or word to describe a "vise with a rear dynamic jaw" or "European vise?" Like the OP, I'm also looking for one, and doing so online and using the usual search tools and sites. Perhaps there's a term to use that would improve my online search in addition to using "vise with a rear dynamic jaw."

Just use the brand names to search... there is no catch all term.
