Why did they say it was unbreakable? For story sake?
We are handcrafters of fully functional, combat ready swords, knives, daggers and various implements of destruction. All of our weapons are warranteed for the life of the smith against breakage of the blade, not because they are weak and we hope you don't break it, because they are the toughest blades you can buy for the money we charge.Our blades have been used to chop apart old cars, engine blocks, bowling balls, appliances, concrete, trees, tire rims and just about anything else you can imagine including live steel stage combat.We consider this to be normal use of our weapons. If you were to damage it, or break it during the course of these types of activities we will repair or replace it for the life of the smith free of charge.For specific details please see our warranty.

Eh, we've seen the swordfights at MM when we had our gathering a few months back; any sword is going to fail eventually when bashed edge to edge against similarly hard implements.
You know, I overlooked it, but... did he say it was actually broken in combat at MM? Or was he busy hacking at steel drums?
