Allomancers and Shardblades

[Gancho Libre he/him]

I came across this question when forming hypothetical battles between characters in the Cosmere. The question is, can an Allomancer (a Coinshot or Lurcher) push or pull on a Shardblade (or plate)?

I don't know if Brandon has answered this, but if anyone knows, I would very much like to know if this is possible.

So, the answer is something along the lines of "no, unless extremely powerful". I'd wager that someone Compounding so much nicrosil that they have attained Mistpoint could do it.
