Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the first sword that I have purchased and I purchased it directly from Valyrian Steel. The sword is really nice. The raped grip is very cool and I really like the brushed nickel pommel and cross guard. The blade has a wolf head engraved on one side and a number of the count on the other (example: 1 of 2500). There is also the maker and all rights reserve etc. engraved as well. It is a bit spendy for what it is but it feels solid and really looks great. The wall display is a bit less then the purchase price would suggest, but my wife tolerates it.

Before setting off for The Wall, Jon Snow, Arya Stark's bastard half brother, gifted her a sword. After noticing Arya's enthusiasm for sword play Jon had Mikken, whose mark adorns the blade, create a sword specifically to suit Arya's physique. Lighter, thinner, and smaller than a typical Westeros blade, the style was closer to that of Braavos across the Narrow Sea, to be used for thusting and slashing, style of combat more suited to the quick and agile, rather than those with raw strength. Jon christened the sword Needle, in homage to Arya's least favorite hobby of needlework.After arriving in King's Landing, Arya's father, Eddard Stark, then the King's Hand, hired Syrio Forel, a Braavosi waterdancer, to teach Arya how to use her new blade. Syrio taught her that and more, preparing her for what was to come later. When Arya would return from practice sweaty and sore, and Septa Mordane would ask where she had been, Arya could truthfully say she had been doing "Needlework" all along.Sword DetailsBlade: ~24" (~30" overall) high carbon steel, full tang. Hilt: Cast metal with antique nickel plate. Genuine leather wrap. Plaque: Silkscreened fiber board. Includes mounting hardware.
