In one of my books on historical weapons, they list a metallic cudgel of that sort as a "helmet breaker" rather than a "sword breaker". A potent impact weapon in any case....The Japanese used a iron "bo" for similar purposes.

Another type of "sword breaker" was the "Parrying dagger" used in sword & dagger fencing in the middle ages. These often had various cuts and cutouts along the blade designed to trap or hopefully break the opponent's sword:
