Sword Breaker

A sword-breaker, much like Hurin's but with short slots to either side of the long one, hung from a belt over his brown coat, and he carried a staff exactly as tall as he was, but not much thicker than his thumb and made of that pale wood, like ridged joints, that the ox-drivers used for their goads. ❋ Jordan, Robert, 1948- (1991)

A thief-taker for the King of Shienar, he did not wear a Shienaran warrior's topknot, yet the short sword and notched sword-breaker at his belt were worn with use. ❋ Jordan, Robert, 1948- (1991)

He had on one of the long vests instead of his coat, and despite the heavy cloak that hid his short sword and sword-breaker, he shivered with the cold. ❋ Jordan, Robert (1990)

He was aware of Hurin unlimbering his short-bladed sword and notched sword-breaker, and Perrin reluctantly drawing his axe from the loop on his belt. ❋ Jordan, Robert (1990)

He peered into the darkness within the walls, feeling at his belt as if for the short sword and sword-breaker he had had to leave at the inn; servants did not go armed in Cairhien. ❋ Jordan, Robert (1990)

Hurin had his short sword and sword-breaker on the table, wiping them with an oily rag. ❋ Jordan, Robert (1990)

Hurin snatched out his sword-breaker, wavered between cudgel and sword for his other hand; after another glance at the Aiel's spears, he chose the sword. ❋ Jordan, Robert (1990)

A bundle and waterbottles were lashed behind his saddle, and a short-bladed sword and a notched sword-breaker hung at his belt, along with a cudgel. ❋ Jordan, Robert (1990)
