Carved a feather into a quill pen, which actually worked somewhat ... since it only has one "piece" I included the most-necessary accessories.

Might be mightier than the sword but I don't see this as disassembled.
DNMC IMO sorry nice image though

I think I get where your going with this one but I'm not feeling the disassembled thing here.

Just having a little tip of the sword on the left isn't working for me. I wish that whole space was empty. Am also struggling to see how this is disassembled.

I'm not sure I get a strong relationship to the topic. I think you're trying to touch it on a purely conceptual level, so I won't ding you down too much. As far as the shot goes, the most prominent feature is the date, and not the tip of the feather pen (as I suspect it should be). Some sharper DOF might help. I think if you were to crop this to remove the knife (sword reference), it would still hold the same power, but be more formally beautiful.
