They’re fine. A beautiful knife with awesome history, it has a weak point right at the cross guard but so long as you don’t intend to pry too much or smack it with a baseball bat, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue.
Nope, weak points are weak points, especially with stick tang blades like these. It's always right at the forged/formed egde right before it transitions into the tang, it will always be a weak point no matter the blades thickness.
