This worried me too. However, most Humakti have at least two swords (a show sword and a working sword). My Sword of Humakt has maybe a dozen or more (she is averse to leaving the swords of vanquished foes to rust or selling them for profit). Her iron broadsword would go back to the temple armoury and her bronze greatsword would be broken over her grave.
