A Shardblade is a magical weapon, created by unknown means, presumably by the Almighty, for use of the Knights Radiant. They are currently used by various factions and persons across Roshar.

Shardblades are unbreakable, can cut through stone with ease, and cut through a creature's soul rather than its flesh. They are summoned by their holder over the course of ten heartbeats. When the holder is killed, the Shardblade appears to be claimed by another.

Possibly related to the Dawnblades held by the ten Heralds.

Persons currently known to hold a Shardblade: Highprince Sadeas, Brightlord Adolin, Shallan Davar, Brightlord Amaram, Szeth, An unidentified Parshendi Shardbearer
