Shardblades were magical weapons of unknown origin which were used by the Knights Radiant on Roshar.
After the Recreance there were an estimated twenty Shardblades held by Alethkar, another twenty for Jah Keved, and approximately another forty spread out among the rest of the world.
Shardblades were much longer than than an average blade (a notable exception being Szeth's Shardblade). They were unbreakable and could cut through any non-living material with ease. When a Shardblade encountered living flesh, it severed the creature's soul rather than its body; however, once the creature was killed, the remains interacted with the blade like any other non-living material.
Those that owned Shardblades were known as Shardbearers
Theories
- Shardblades are created by the Almighty
- Shardblades are related to the Honorblades held by the Heralds.
