Hi Everybody,
Finished my review of the Windlass Atlantean. Was nervous getting one of these due to the hilt construction woes of earlier reviews. Overall though I like it and it is a great replica of the film original with very nice detail. Let me know what you guys think!

Great review, you hit the nail with the hammer on the head! The hilt of mine wasn't that black and on some places the patina (?) was worn out and the brass looking through, but I found that pleasing, so I didn't polish it. Now we have to solve THE RIDDLE OF THE POMMEL! As long as I didn't see a threaded one I still curse: "May your pommel fall off and hit your toe!" Aaand: "To crush your bottles, see the pommel driven off the handle and hear the lamentation of the owner!".

Yea mine was full black to where it looked like a blued hilt. Speaking of the pommel a subscriber posted in the YouTube comments that the newer models are threaded at the pommel now as he says he visited MRL and saw one disassembled. I remember reading somewhere that Windlass took the negative feedback of the first run pommel's assembly and fixed it but we never got a confirmation from any current reviews. Don't Jinx me! But just in case I'll keep a wide legged stance when cutting, lol!
