Most reviews, all that I’ve read, are favourable. Here’s a guy that thought otherwise.

The guy in the video review above doesn't know much about swords. Peened is nice, but doesn't mean it is actually better if the peen isn't done right. Also, threaded can be just as safe and secure if done properly. Now as far as the tang is concerned, it is a full tang, not a welded on tang. Despite being full tang, a full tang doesn't mean it can't be broken, but typically full tangs are stronger than welded tangs. Although a good weld can be very strong if done right as well. However, since tangs, by necessity, have to be thinner to allow a human hand to grip them, welded tangs tend not to have enough material to make them strong enough. That and they are usually badly done as an afterthought for most SLOs (sword like objects).
With all the above said, I own the sword and it's "ok" and not what I would call windlass's best work. Still, it isn't bad and they've produce far worse items in the past. It is functional and does look nice. The normal price is a bit high for what you get, but basically you are paying extra for the looks and a slightly better scabbard than the el cheapo leather only scabbards that come with most of their offerings.
