Through some conversation with Drave, this is what they told me about their Daiwa handles...

dravefishing:

Hi

As the T5 is designed to withstand high force and at the same time maintain a low weight, the shafts were engineered to be thicker at the bottom where it is mounted on to the wings of the T5. Hence it will not fit on daiwa standard knobs or RCS knobs meant for daiwa. Other custom knobs such as drave, zpi, livre, dress and etc will work on it.

Here it is! Looks pretty darn good and knobs are super smooth.

I got the M5 knobs and was worried about the touch too but not any more

I like them!

They usually come with DRAVE knobs on them. You can either message them directly on facebook or ebay to check if they can arrange one for you.

Received both of mine today. Got the 100mm in purple with M7 knobs. I was skeptical about the edgy look, but they are definitely better in person. The bearings are very smooth. Fit and finish is very good as well. Very solid. I put them on my Tatula HD and Zillion TWS. I don't have a scale, but they are lighter than the stock Tatula HD handle, but slightly heavier than the stock Zillion TWS handle.

Overall, I'm very impressed by them.

I'm Sold! These are bad a$$

. Combined with the great customer service. These are hard to beat for the money. I am going to get another handle with the M5 knobs next.

Some really tight looking products.

A silver handle like that with some black accents looks amazing on a Ryoga since the reel looks robotic as is.

Steampunk handles. Needs to be on a more boxy type of reel IMO, but still looks different and grabs your eye.
