Even before the Dragonslayer, yes. I [i]have[/i] read past the Band of the Hawk. :P

But when your lower bound for necessary enhanced durability is to match the sword swinging (if you're going to actively retaliate) you don't need a massive ability to absorb damage.

But you'd need to absorb large amounts of force it you're going to block the Dragonslayer.

Actually, even if the sword didn't shatter, you'd need to be amazingly strong to keep your arms from giving out, and even if you did block, you'd get knocked around a decent distance.
