The Chinook is just flat out better looking. The other one is plain ugly. And the Chinook looks like it would be more useful anyways.

Plus the other sounds like some form of weed.

chinook is a great knife if one likes the persian/trailing point blade shape. the power lock is very strong. did very well in demkos testing vs. his tri-ad. the chinook 4 is not too thin, not too thick. it carries well in the pocket folded not too curvy and awkward.

i dont own a tighe stick so i cant comment on size and shape other than dimensions ive read.

visually the chinook looks better to me as well.

I've owned the TS. It's no slouch.

I always thought it would be awesome with the Spydiehole gone and a small thumbstud in its place.

Better if drilled for tip up.

The TS blade is rather odd looking. But with sweet machined Titanium and S90V , I'd pick that over the chinook which has plain Jane black G10 and S30V.

Needs that mod! Spydiehole gone, Thumbstud added. Classy Profile without the hump

FWIW, I bought the Chinook and passed on the Stick. Preferred both looks and lock on the Chinook.

The Chinook is an awesome knife. The tighe stick is fugly and more than likely not so practical in actual use. I have held the tighe stick, not my thing. I bought the Chinook. If you buy the Chinook and have done your homework (which I'm sure you have lol) as to what its like, you will not be disappointed.

yes i ended up ordeing the chinook. figured it would be easier to carry.

I like the Spyderhole on my Manix 2/PM2 and Southard. On the Tighe Stick it looks like an afterthought and ruins the flow of the design.

Yeah would look awesome without the hump. I bought one anyway at closeout pricing. It's still a cool knife.

Please let us know what you think man.

I bought it for the collection. It's a (functional) work of art. I think the photos tell most of the story. The tip is extremely pointy. The lockup is solid. Lockbar is not difficult for me to disengage as some have reported. Good detent. Clip works just fine for tip down only.

I would love the Chinook if it were more like the #2+3 but with powerlock. So close.
