A '''shardhammer''', also known as a '''warhammer''' is an enormous battle hammer that can only be wielded by someone in [[Shardplate]]. Contrary to what it's name might suggest, it is not an ancient magical weapon like Shardplate or a [[Shardblade]], but rather, a more modern creation. Dalinar's warhammer is described as having a haft as "thick as a man's wrist" with the front of the head being larger than a man's fist. It could barely be lifted by two men and was carried on a cart.{{book ref|sa1|28}} A Shardbearer's hammer is a common weapon for someone who owns a set of plate, but no Shardblade.{{book ref|sa2|26}}

During [[Kaladin]]'s final battle with [[Szeth]], [[Syl]] momentarily takes the form of a hammer. As it has been established that Shardblades are actually spren, and Syl becomes a true Shardblade in Kaladin's hand, it follows that what Kaladin wields here is an actual Shardhammer.{{book ref|sa2|86}} For discussion of true Shardhammers, see [[Shardblade]].
