The '''Order of Bondsmiths''' is an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.{{17s ref|topic|4258}}
The Bondsmiths are [[Surgebinder]]s who use the [[Surge]]s of Tension and Adhesion.{{17s ref|topic|4323}}
In the time before the Recreance the Bondsmiths commonly had no more than three members, making them the smallest of the Orders.{{epigraph ref|sa2|44}} However, this is not a constant and there has been a time where there was only one Bondsmith.▼

The Bondsmiths use the Surges of '''Tension''' and '''Adhesion'''.
; Full Lashing:
Using the Full Lashing, a Surgebinder can pool [[Stormlight]] into an area. All objects that subsequently touch this area will be bonded to the object, sticking them there and hindering their movement. The bond ends when the Stormlight runs out.
; Spiritual Adhesion:
Using the Surge of Adhesion to manipulate spiritual, rather than purely physical forces, a Bondsmith can touch another person and forge a spiritual connection between them. This allows the Bondsmith to temporarily speak whatever languages this other person can speak. Whether the Surgebinder must remain physically close to this other person for the ability to be continually used or if it can transfer any other skill or knowledge is unknown. The power bears a great similarity to other applications of [[Connection]] such as [[duralumin]] [[Feruchemy]] on Scadrial.
=== Tension ===
The Tension Surge can be manipulated by the Surgebinder to alter the stiffness of an object.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} For Bondsmiths, the use of the Tension surge is different from the [[Stonewards]]. While [[Stonewards]] use this ability to shape stone in battle,{{disputed}} Bondsmiths use it to repair inanimate objects, as a complement to the [[
=== Other abilities ===
; Spren and Shardblades:
Each Bondsmith shares a [[Nahel bond]] with one of three unique spren: the [[Stormfather]], the [[Nightwatcher]]{{cite}}, and an unnamed [[Sibling|third]] who slumbers.
; Connection and lightweaving:
Bondsmiths are able to boost other Radiants' powers. The boost given is different for each Order.{{wob ref|11296}} For example, allowing a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]] to create a three-dimensional projection of [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|8}}

; "Godspren":
It has been theorized that the Bondsmith spren may be "godspren" -- in other words, the cognitive representation of the people of Roshar's gods. This might explain why Bondsmiths are said to have bound such "specific" spren, and also why there is only three Bondsmiths at any given time. Presumably, this would be due to that fact that there would only be as many powerful "godspren" at any given time as there were heavily worshipped gods on Roshar. Honor (i.e. The Almighty) and Cultivation are two obvious candidates for having "godspren." Indeed, The [[Stormfather]] is already confirmed to be the "godspren" of Honor.{{cite}} Who the other worshipped god could be on Roshar is unclear at this point, though one candidate is the [[Nightwatcher]].
