johnv474 Report post Posted February 29, 2020 What is the difference between English and French? Mine is from Abbey England. It does not fold in the middle as some (Blanchard?) do. Ebay regularly has them, as does Etsy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wykoni Report post Posted February 29, 2020 French only uses leg tension, from your legs, where the English has bolts running through it to cause mechanical tension. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The clamps on the French both bow outwards before turning in to make the jaws. like this ( ) On the English one clamp is a straight extension of the leg then turns for the jaw. The other clamp bows out then turns in for the jaw. like this I ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
