There isn't much corrlation between player made and mosnter dropped weapons. A sufficiently leveled player can make sword better than any monster drop.

That said, there's no meaning. The sword breaking scene was written before Warmth of the Heart, and thus, the sword that broke, at the time didn't even have a name as far as the reader knew.
