I agree with practically your entire last post, Erol.

If all that happens in an attack is a single orthodox swing, perhaps not,
and of course you can add a quality/skill check to confirm the result.

Do consider though that a 5-second attack may involve several swings,
parries, weapon on weapon strikes in ways it's not supposed to happen, and
possibly things like accidentally hitting stone, burying a blade in soft
wood or something and getting stuck, having someone's body weight applied
to the weapon in a bad way, etc. A weapon can be lost in one try if the
right abuse is applied to it.
