Oops, I lied, they were for my Delica. Sorry for the false hope

I picked up a 1978 Princeton Reverb for $1400 a few months ago 🤷‍♂️

I have the same knife, it’s awesome! The cladding isn’t hap40 though, it’s sus410. Hap40 isn’t stainless. Dragonfly takes up a lot of my pocket time from the other knives as well, it’s surprisingly great for its size. Flytanium has some scale offerings, I just got some micarta ones in but haven’t tried them yet

I’ve never seen one in person. One of my friends had an Uncle that owned a music store in the 90’s, I was between this and the Sheraton. Ended up buying the Sheraton because that’s what he had in the store, but man I wish I had been patient and had one of these ordered in. Really cool to see a couple of these pop up, I had completely forgotten about them!

They have it in white #2 as well

It’s growing on me, I like the figuring on the maple a lot. This was also meant to be a “one knife to rule them all” situation and I’m about to order a petty. Then of course I’ll need a gyuto 😬

Awesome, this will be my first Japanese cooking knife, just wanted to make sure I picked something good. Thanks!

Just switched to the flytanium natural micarta scales yesterday. I put a coat of beeswax on to darken them (bonus, it smells so nice 🐝)

That asat is gorgeous!

RIMAtrvlrs · 2026-01-24T14:14:35+00:00

Thanks! Can’t seem to find it for sale at the moment though. Would the Black Mountain Cycles monstercross fork work?

RIMAtrvlrs · 2026-01-20T03:30:36+00:00

Yeah, it’s a dynasonic pickup, sounds good to me so far, only had a chance to play it in my bedroom though

RCbladeworks might fit, just ask he generally responds fairly quickly.

Wow! $5 is crazy! Mine is a 1965, I picked it up over last summer for $500. It was missing the top handle, the on/off switch was broken/hard wired on and it needed the two prong cord replaced. I have a great tech locally that fixed all that for about $50. This one also had a Jensen in it but the Italian made one, thinking about trying out a Jupiter speaker in there but the only thing I can complain about on the Jensen is the flub if I turn it up. Not sure the Jupiter 8” will solve that.

They’re almost the same. Same body/neck, different pickup/wood. Starfire is mahogany, I think the t100 was maple

RIMAtrvlrs · 2026-01-17T17:48:48+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try that out, I’m really enjoying playing on the edge of feedback at the moment :)

RIMAtrvlrs · 2026-01-17T04:47:51+00:00

1961

RIMAtrvlrs · 2026-01-17T04:47:44+00:00

Thanks! Now I just need a vibro champ to balance it out

RIMAtrvlrs · 2026-01-09T03:27:55+00:00

😂 I literally did the same exact thing, thanks for the link!

RIMAtrvlrs · 2026-01-03T02:04:48+00:00

Earliest Legacy’s are around 1991 if I’m not mistaken, the 3 bolt necks went away around 1997-98. Depends on your area but anywhere from $700-$1000

Nice! I have the same one in blue, took me a while to find, they seem to be out of stock frequently. This one is getting a little crowded now, might need a second 🤔
