Threaded is a screw-on, is easily removable for examination, repairs, or customization, but has a tendency to loosen which leads to structural integrity issues unless you keep up with it.
Peening is where a bit of the sword's tang extends through a hole in the pommel, is heated, and then hammered down over the bottom. This gives a nice, tight fit that won't budge, but over time the grip will shift and such but it seems taking a hammer to the peen will effectively "tighten" it again. You'll be having to grind it off to disassemble your sword, and when putting it back together either shorten the grip or take out some of the blade on the tang end so you can have some steel to re-peen.
Peening is generally accepted as more historically accurate, but threading is fun if you like to customize. It's up to the user to decide which is better.
Or something. I think.

We have your order and it is in line to be sharpened. It will ship on Monday. Each sword takes over an hour to hand sharpen, so it can slow down shipping if we get a lot of sharpening requests.
