10 Dasam Granth References About Worldly Sword, Guru Gobind Singh wrote in Bachitar Natak how it cut's evils:

ਤਹਾ ਨੰਦ ਚੰਦੰ ਕੀਯੋ ਕੋਪ੝ ਭਾਰੋ ॥ ਲਗਾਈ ਬਰਛੀ ਕ੝ਰਿਪਾਣੰ ਸੰਭਾਰੋ ॥
Then Nand Chand (the Guru's Diwan), in fierce rage, wielding his sword struck it with force.

ਤ੝ਟੀ ਤੇਗ ਤ੝ਰਿਖੀ ਕਢੇ ਜਮਦਢੰ ॥ ਹਠੀ ਰਾਖਯੰ ਲਜ ਬੰਸੰ ਸਨਢੰ ॥੮॥
But it broke. Then he drew his dagger and the tenacious warrior saved the honour of the Sodhi clan.8.
In ShastarNam Mala, it's mentioned:

ਅਸ ਕ੝ਰਿਪਾਨ ਖੰਡੋ ਖੜਗ ਤ੝ਪਕ ਤਬਰ ਅਰ੝ ਤੀਰ ॥
ਸੈਫ ਸਰੋਹੀ ਸੈਹਥੀ ਯਹੈ ਹਮਾਰੈ ਪੀਰ ॥੩॥

As clearly mention, These all are Weapons of Piri and one can get their meanings with help of Guru Granth Sahib.
