(blades were swapped)
Taln spent the vast amount of time in [[Words of Radiance]] in a mental asylum.
 
At some point, his Honorblade was swapped with another Shardblade.{{url ref|url=http://faq.brandonsanderson.com/node/461|text=Why didn’t Dalinar get the powers of a Stoneward when he bonded Taln’s honorblade?|brandonsanderson.com|date=May 31, 2017}}
There is a possibility that his Honorblade had been hidden and swapped.
When he arrived in Kholinar the weapon was described as "long, narrow, and shaped line an enormous spike".{{book ref|twok|epilogue}}.
However, when the blade is summoned to confront Amaram it is described as "wider than most,... almost cleaver like in appearance".{{book ref|sa2|76}}
Adolin implies it is the same blade that arrives at the Shattered Plains, though, saying "Bless the man for listening to reason and bonding that madman's blade" {{book ref|sa2|85}}. The blades are clearly different in shape, butthough Shardblades of living spren can change shape. It is unknown whether Honorblades can do the same.
 
In addition, the "cleaver-like" [[Shardblade]] screamed in Dalinar's mind after he bonded the [[Stormfather]]. Therefore, it must have been a normal [[Shardblade]] and not an [[Honorblade]].
