I've had the Tighe Stick for a few days now so I'll go ahead and give a few of my impressions with a few nitpicks as well.
Pros:
  • The lock is one of the best I've used, with no stickiness and spot on geometry for a solid lockup.
  • The action came smooth and got even smoother, with the thumbhole place pretty well for flicking it open
  • It's sharp enough to cut shapes out of a sheet of newspaper, and that's about all I care to test in a factory edge. I imagine the S90V will hold up well
  • The sculpting on the handles looks amazing and provides plenty of traction
  • Solid, beefy hardware is used throughout
  • The grip is excellent in forward or reverse grip, and feels like it was made for my hand
  • The tip is ridiculously sharp
Now for the Cons (just my preference on most of them, not really negative things objectively)
  • I'd like a little more of the handle to cover the tip, or a slightly stronger detent. I've poked myself in the leg a couple of times when the blade moved about .25" or so while putting it in my pocket
  • Holes drilled to carry tip up would be excellent
The only other thing I saw to nitpick is something I've seen on my other taichung made spydies as well: the spyderhole could use some deburring, since they've all come a little sharp on the inner edge
