I had high hopes for this knife. I missed out on the Flash Sale at Olight and was happy to see Battery Junction carry the Drever too. It arrived ahead of schedule and I was excited to try it. I was surprised at how slippery the scales were and thought it might have been coated with oil. After wiping the handles down thoroughly, I found it was indeed slippery. The tiny grooves on the scales are not enough to provided me with a good grip and then using the thumb stud to open it becomes dangerous. The flipper opening is fine, but I prefer to use the thumb stud. I have other knives with G10 scales and they have more prominent grooves, providing them with a better grip. Additionally, the pocket clip is on the shorter side and it is very tight. I can see it wearing out a pants pocket because of this. On the plus side, the action is very smooth and the liner lock is secure. The blade is sharp too.

As much as I wanted to like the Drever and add it to my EDC collection, I reluctantly returned it to Battery Junction, otherwise it might have just sat in a drawer in my office.

Bought this as a fan of Olight flashlights and was not disappointed. I wasn't sure but was willing to give it a chance and it's been a great knife I use most day. I have a couple Benchmade and a SOG Knife and this Olight knife feels of similar quality. Recommend!
