Just because they're similar doesn't mean they're related - it might be the artist's impression that is similar, but not actually the swords themselves. It's the same artist as the Reaper's Gale cover, I believe.
Besides, there's no connection between Withal and Toc, as they never met and are on different continents at this point I believe. Plus, who will commission it?
, and Toc isn't going into combat (presumably), he's just riding to the gods of war - why would he need a sword, one SE has to especially bend the plot to provide? It doesn't make sense. After the CG debacle I doubt he would agree to make a sword for a god anyway...
