[1] A Chinese sword breaker is an extremely rare and blunt weapon that is built around a long, heavy rod with square cross-section that enables it to focus a blow with maximum impact. Such a blow can break or beat an opponent’s blade so far out of line that recovering in time to set up a defense is virtually impossible.
