Unlike most other dead Shardblades, Oathbringer appears to have some degree of awareness of its surroundings. According to the [[Stormfather]], it remembers the day Dalinar bonded it, as well as the day he discarded it, and his reasons for doing the latter. Because of this, it reacts to his touch far less violently than other dead Blades.{{book ref|sa3|28}}

Dalinar wielded Oathbringer for many decades and in a number of battles, including the unification of [[Alethkar]], the second conflict at the Rift, and the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref|sa3|75}}{{book ref|sa1|13}} Following the [[Battle of the Tower]], he traded it to [[Torol Sadeas]] for all of Sadeas' bridgemen in order to keep his promise to [[Kaladin]] and the rest of [[Bridge Four]]; that he would free them for saving the life of him and his men.{{book ref|sa1|69}}{{book ref|sa1|68}}
==Trivia==
* A drawing of a Shardblade with a hooked tip in [[Shallan's sketchbook]] is often mistaken for Oathbringer, but [[Ben McSweeney]] has confirmed that it is a different Shardblade.{{wob ref|13649}}
▲<!-- Throughout the novel, Oathbringer is referred to by name, however when Dalinar summons it to give to Sadeas, it is simply "The Blade" perhaps implying that his perspective has changed and he no longer cares for fighting. (rewrite to in-universe-ize it -- Joe) -->
