Can Honorblades be taken off-world?

The Spren of Roshar are, as far as we know, unable to leave Roshar, which makes Surgebinding limited to Roshar. But is it the same for Honorblades?

How far have you read into the Starlight Archive? Have you read Mist bornsecret history?

I've read up to RoW and Mistborn Secret History. 

I just haven't seen this question come up. I know that Spren can't leave the planet they came into existence on and Stormlight faces similar difficulties, which limits Surgebinding to Roshar for now. I'm just curious if the Honorblades themselves can be taken out of the System.

Honorblades were moved from 1 planet to another within the Rosharian system, which is off world but not past the Connection barrier. It is possible for honorblades (and spren) to leave if they have enough force to push past the Connection barrier, same as Odium and other Shards. It is difficult for spren because they cannot just be welded by a worldhopper able to pierce the barrier, and in fact it may be impossible for them to get enough mph or reduce the connection barrier, and they might fade if they travel too far, much as when in a bond.

Hoid was able to bring lerasium off system, and the honorbaldes are Honor's Metal. It is possible in theory, even if the methods required are shard level. I believe that Talenelat's blade that hold stole was taken off world, if only for a time.

Also, I think that spren who tap/fill/spike connection can get off world, and can survive (if only with starlight or healing).

When did this happen?  I was under the impression Hoid ate the nugget of Lerasium he found.

It was confirmed that he ate it and burned it for mist born, but I was under the impression he waited for a while (longer than he was on Scadrial that visit). It might just be that the WoB confirming he ate it came a year after SH (if I remember the dates correctly.)
