Interview: Dec, 2010
Dustin
Can a Herald's blade/equipment be um....adopted? I only ask because Dalinar seems to be lacking one and that Herald at the end did kick the bucket in his capital and he's gonna need more than armor when Szeth shows up.
Brandon Sanderson (Goodreads)
Someone who is not himself or herself a Herald can indeed use one of the Honorblades.

Hal-Con Report - Lance Alvein (Paraphrased)Lance Alvein
Can you confirm if the scene with Taln at the end of Way of Kings is entirely in Hoid's perspective? There was some discussion that it might not be, since Taln's honourblade was called a shardblade.BRANDON SANDERSON (paraphrased)
That entire scene is in Hoid's POV, and the reason for it being called a shardblade is because honourblades are shardblades.Tags

Ask the Author: Brandon Sanderson (Verbatim)Question
If a non-Windrunner Surgebinder (who had spoken all the Ideals of their Radiant Order) summoned Jezrien's Honorblade, what color eyes would they get? A blend? Different colors for each eye?
Brandon Sanderson
:) I'm going to RAFO eye color questions for the moment. We'll actually be dealing with some of these in the books. Maybe not the specific ones you ask, but the concepts in general.

Ask the Author: Brandon Sanderson (Verbatim)Question
Would a Returned who bonded an Honorblade have their eye color change when they summon it?
Brandon Sanderson
That's a RAFO! (More because I don't have my notes handy than anything else, though.)

WoR Signing Report - Talenelat (Verbatim)QUESTION
Can someone bond more than one Honorblade?
BRANDON SANDERSON
Honorblade? You can't bond an Honorblade, though it can be given to you. Shardblades, however, come from a spren bond and it is possible to bond more than one.

Interview: Oct 12th, 2015
Question
Would it be safe to assume that Kaladin is also carrying the Honorblade? Because that makes the most sense to me.Brandon Sanderson
Which Honorblade?Question
The one from Szeth.Brandon Sanderson
That is... He's not.Question
That surprises me, because to me that would be the best- That would make the most sense.Brandon Sanderson
That would be sneaky of me. But that's not the case.Question
So he actually has an Honorblade, since you asked which one.Brandon Sanderson
He took Szeth's. So he has that one. Oh! I thought you meant Taln's, I thought. He does not have Taln's. He has Szeth's.. Yes he has Szeth’s.Question
I'm assuming he found that one, because that made the most sense to keep it safeBrandon Sanderson
He’s got Szeth’s, that is true. ... Sorry, I assumed you meant Taln's. Taln's is gone.Question
Yeah. Taln's vanished off the face of the planet! I'm assuming Hoid grabbed that one, actually.Brandon Sanderson
That is one of the prevailing theories and not one that is unreasonable.Question
Well, considering. That was the one, because you had mentioned last time you were here that you could have both, and I was like, "okay, so that means he’s got Szeth's sword."Tags

Interview: Oct 12th, 2015
Question
If the spren that bond people scream when they touch a Shardblade, but then at the end of Words of Radiance Kaladin holds Szeth's honorblade and they do not have a problem with that, why does the Stormfather force Dalinar to get rid of his Honorblade at the end of Words of Radiance?Brandon Sanderson
So... He does not have an Honorblade at the end of Words of Radiance.Question
He does not. Oh, I thought he got it from... [Taln]Brandon Sanderson
Yes, that's what the assumption is. If you look very closely, the blade that you think he ends up with is described differently from the one that he actually does.Tags
