It is uncertain if or when any new Radiants crafted Shardblades during this time period. It seems unlikely, as the Nahel spren had all retreated to their homeland of [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa1|17}} There may have been a few dissident spren, similar to [[Sylphrena]]{{book ref|sa2|32}} or [[Ivory]]{{book ref|sa2|3}} but if there were any, they were few and far between. It is likely that any few Radiants arising during this time were killed by Nale, as he had been working for centuries to prevent the return of the Radiants.{{au ref|edgedancer}}

In the final few days of year 1173, a former slave known as [[Kaladin Stormblessed]], who had bonded a [[honorspren]] named [[Sylphrena]],{{book ref|sa1|57}} swore the third [[Immortal Words|Ideal]] of the [[Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa2|84}} This allowed Syl the ability to become a Shardblade, returning the knowledge of the origins of Shardblades to mankind. Kaladin used his Shardblade to then kill Szeth, and reclaim Jezrien's Honorblade.{{book ref|sa2|86}} By this same time, [[Jasnah Kholin]] had also managed to progress to a point in her bond where her spren, [[Ivory]], could become a Blade.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} A few days later, in 1174, the [[Edgedancer]] [[Lift]] swore the third Ideal of her order, allowing her spren [[Wyndle]] to take the form of a Shardblade.{{book ref|edgedancer|19}}
=== True Desolation ===
Following the arrival of the [[Everstorm]] and the start of the [[True Desolation]], [[Voidspren]]{{book ref|sa3|i|3}} and the [[Fused]]{{book ref|sa3|43}} made an active effort to gather up available dead Shardblades, as well as Plate. At least one other Radiant, [[Malata]] of the [[Dustbringers]] had progressed sufficiently far to manifest a Shardblade as well. {{book ref|sa3|24}} Renarin Kholin has also managed to manifest a Blade,{{book ref|sa3|10}} but his spren [[Glys]] has been corrupted by [[Sja-anat]], meaning his Blade may be something entirely unique.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Following the rediscovery of Urithiru, living Shardblades have became enormously important for permitting the operation of the Oathgates which allowed for Dalinar's coalition to form.{{book ref|sa3|1}} Jezrien's Honorblade was given by Kaladin to Dalinar, who kept it secret for some time.{{book ref|sa3|16}} During Kaladin's absence on his mission to [[Kholinar]], Dalinar entrusted the Honorblade to the men of [[Bridge Four]], hoping they could guard it and use it to practice their abilities.{{book ref|sa3|64}} Just before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], the men of Bridge Four were attacked in Urithiru{{book ref|sa3|i|14}} by an agent of [[Taravangian]] who stole the Honorblade.{{book ref|sa3|122}} Taravangian surrendered the Honorblade to Odium as a part of their agreement, who then gave it as a reward to [[Moash]].{{book ref|sa3|122}} <!-- Add a bit about Teft making a Blade too? How many do we need? -->
