What about Valyrian steel?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think Valerian steel holds an edge like no other blade so you wouldn't need to sharpen it?

Didn't Rob Stark ruin his sword hitting a tree? Or maybe Caitlen kinda forgot about valerian steel?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but he didn’t have Valyrian steel only regular steel.

Didn't his sword get melted to make the lannister ones? At the start of the episode after red wedding?

That was Ned Stark, Rob is his son.

Makes sense. The timing of it made me assume it was Rob's sword, because it was just after the red wedding.

Normally I would rewatch and keep a close look for the details here, but.... I'll take your word for it

If you need a refresher, after Ned Stark gets executed, Tywin got Tobho Mott to melt down Ice into two swords. He gave one to Jamie called Oathkeep while the other one gave to Joffrey call Widow’s Wail (he was really a piece of shit). Joffrey uses that sword to cut the pies during the purple wedding and stuff.

I don’t know, maybe it was a very strong tree.

That's still a relative statement right? It may not lose its edge as quickly as others, but eventually it's going to happen.

Maybe they also have some very fine dragon glass encrusted stones to sharpen with.

Not if George R. R. Martin doesn't write any more books.

Valyrian steel is implied to have someone sacrificed and have their blood/soul bound into the sword, hence blood magic presumably keeps it sharp.
