The '''Honorblades''' are the magical swords carried by the [[Herald]]s to fight the [[Voidbringers]] during the [[Desolation]]s.
There are ten Honorblades total, one for each Herald. Every Honorblade is unique, covered in various glyphs and patterns.{{ref|b|sa1|Prelude}} The respective hilts of each of the Heralds's Honorblades appear to be the same as the glyph that represents the order of [[Knights Radiant]] that that same Herald leads. Honorblades are technically a type of [[Shardblade]]{{17s ref|2383|post|42215|Three types of shardblade}}{{17s ref|2422|post|44676|Honorblades are shardblades}} but are likely more powerful. Honorblades can also be summoned and dismissed like a Shardblade.{{ref|b|sa1|Prelude}} However, if the Herald holding the blade dies, the weapon itself vanishes too. It also doesn't automatically vanish when the holder accidentally lets go of it.{{ref|b|sa1|Epilogue}} One does not need to be a Herald in order to use an Honorblade either.{{qa ref
{{theory}}
== Surgebinding ==
Honorblades inherently grant the ability to [[Surgebind]]{{qa ref
[[Syl]] is the first to explicitly state this power of Honorblades, mentioning that "...[the blade Szeth had wielded would] turn anyone into a Windrunner..." She also states an Honorblade consumes the Stormlight of its user as well, thus surgbinding granted by one requires "a dangerous amount" of stormlight.
