Blacksmiths Use Fire to Make ‘Ice,’ Ned Stark’s Killer Sword fromGame of Thrones

The Man at arm crew is at it again , demand on one of the coolest ( and most intriguing ) swords in forward-looking - day fantasy : Ice from Game of Thrones .

ice-skating rink is one of the most iconic swords in Game of Thrones , with a legacy that spans the entire serial publication and many of its primal bit . Made of Valyrian steel , it ’s the sword Eddard Stark used to drink down Will , the Night ’s Watch apostate , in the very first fit of the very first sequence . It served as more of an public executioner ’s blade than a battle weapon , something the Man at Arms crafters manoeuvre out in the video , yield its sizing and consumption . The only other purpose it served before being melt down was to fulfill Ned Stark himself — although Joffrey does n’t do it himself because he was a sniveling short coward .

The telecasting ’s 18 minutes long , but it ’s a testament to how tricky ( and awful ) weapon - craft can be . And now that the team at Baltimore Knife and Sword has made Ice , the veridical psychometric test is whether they could break apart it and bend it into Oathkeeper and Widow ’s Wail , the two swords Tywin Lannister regularise Ice be craft into for Jaime Lannister and Joffrey Baratheon , respectively . ( They ’ve already made Jaime Lannister’sfirst sword , but not the one he by and by gave to Brienne of Tarth ) . If they were able to attain that , it would really be a exploit for the ages .
