Olight getting into the knife game

[Yo Mama]

N690, who knows the OEM, flipper, and g10

For the price ok, not getting one, mainly due to not needing another budget blade, but good to see Olight branching out.

Welp , I have no idea about their knife quality or value , but their flashlights and batteries have been top notch in my experience .

That's a large forward choil...

That's a large forward choil...

Agreed. To large for my taste.

Looks like decent ergonomics other than that.

 

[DocJD]

Modified sheepsfoot , linerlock flipper .

Looks OK , but the market is already jam packed with similar .

I expect it will work fine , but it's somewhat underwhelming IMO .

I do not like it

 

[K.O.D.]

I don't like the choil for sure. This has WE/Civivi manufacturing written all over it imo. I bet they produce it for olight. Or perhaps Bestech.

I've had three Olight flashlights and only one still works, so I'm not impressed by their efforts.

If Fenix or Streamlight built a knife I would consider It. I am not as impressed with olight. This is just a rebranded Chinese knife, anyway.

Is anyone not getting in the game?

The Ruike brand is sold by Fenix.

Hope it's better than their attempt at a usable pen. The O-Pen 2 was crap.

Agree fully! I returned mine day after I got it.

The modified sheepsfoot is an abomination IMHO. Neither fish nor foul. Looks like a sheepsfoot that has been sharpened badly for years.

Either make a true sheepsfoot or a drop point or even a clip.

No place in my world for a modified sheepsfoot, I’d even take a tanto over a modified sheepsfoot.

Rant over. Carry on.

 

[DocT]

Yawn. Just another cheap liner lock.

 

[Jody744]

Rumor has it Kizer is making these. I’ll stick with their lights. Just not my style of knife.

 

[ElementalBreakdown]

N690 is kinda like VG10, isn't it?
I'm not a huge fan of using VG-10 these days when there are so many better options like nitro-v

I've been enjoying mine so far, what was wrong with your pens?

And this knife looks similar to many of the other Civivi and Bestech knives in that price segment. Also, OKNIFE sounds really really stupid to me, I wouldn't want that printed on the blade of any knife I'm carrying. Sounds like they're trying to make an Irish knife....

Heh, I guess Olight didn't like Fenix (aka Ruike knives) getting good reviews on their budget blades.

Looks like the Drever is their answer to the P80x lineup at Ruike. Ruike went silver with blue hardware, Olight went black with blue hardware.

The look neat. What country was it made in?
