== Description ==
There are at least three types of Shardblades{{17s ref
Shardblades of the first type are about six feet long and a handspan wide and have only one edge. Those are the more common Shardblades.
The second type-Blades are also long, but thin and edged on both sides. They are smaller than the others. A Blade of that type is carried by [[Szeth]].{{book ref|wok|prologue}}
== Cosmere Background ==
{{theory}}
Shardblades are Invested objects.{{qa ref|593|10|Who would win in a fight between Szeth and Marsh?|date=Feb 28th, 2011}} It has been theorized that they are stored in the Spiritual Realm when not used. They also seem to "cut" in the Spiritual Realm, killing the soul of people and not their bodies. A Shardblade bonds with its bearer.{{17s ref
It is thought that [[Helaran Davar]] owned a Shardblade, until his death at the hands of [[Kaladin]].{{book ref|twok|47}} His blade would be the one now owned by [[Amaram]].{{book ref|twok|51}}
