If you mean the one Herb designed based on the Vario Clipper, when it stopped being offered in the Western Hemisphere, I think it's the best you can get.  You can still get the original Vario Clipper from Europe, but it will cost even more than Herb's, due to shipping and taxes.

The Vario Clipper (or Herb's) produces a very precise cut, without the variations of other choppers.  People have written in describing ways of avoiding these variations, but they do add time to the chopping process.

I've been using the vario that I got fromHerb for many years.
I too believe it is the best available.

Like the quill holder and the adjustments.

Far better than the other choppers. Worth the extra cash!

I quit using my feather burner when I got a Vario Clipper years ago, I sold all my Little Choppers as well.
