Book Ice, Sword of Eddard Stark

I FINALLY got Ice today. I have been coveting it for months as it sat in the back of my local comic shop and it has been well worth the wait. I have been dancing around in an ecstatic manner all day. my life is now complete. Have ordered Needle and Longclaw as well

i just got my ice #1111 </br>(sweet number) and i love it its just what i thought it would be. i agree the blade is a bit wobbly but for a blade that size what do you expect. I have been collecting weapons since i was 17 and have over 30 swords and this is by far my favorite so far and the story it comes from makes it that much cooler. i just listened to an interveiw with mr. martin and now am not just impressed with his writing but with the man himself. cant wait for the southren fighting spear, and hopefully they make the dragon horn from feast for crows. peace out,[and winter is over </br>( finally!!)]

I really wanted to love this sword, truly I did, but for the price I was expecting more. Let me first talk about the strong points of Ice. The hilt/handle is gorgeous. I love the white suede </br>(even though mine came with a big black fingerprint on it), the centerpiece direwolf carving and the gold plated bands that surround it. I also loved the end piece of the handle. The cross i liked as well. It is a raised and not flush which adds to the beauty of it. Now onto the reason why I felt disappointed with the item which is the blade.  When holding the sword it feels flimsy and wobbly. I cant help but think that this was a design flaw that I'm surprised wasn't addressed before mass production. If only the handle was a bit wider and the blade a bit thicker towards the cross and thinned out as it got longer this may have helped with the blade feeling secure and solid.  Now I know its not a real sword but I do have Longclaw and that is a 5 star item in my opinion. It feels great in the hands and when you swing it in the air you feel confident. Unfortunately the same can't be said about Ice. I gave the item 3 stars because I appreciate the detail to work on most of the sword and the hard work it takes to take something from design concept to a final product. With that being said an item is only as good as its weakest link and the feel of the sword in my hands and the lackluster blade is huge letdown and takes 2 stars away from it. I am eagerly awaiting the Oathkeeper and I hope I wont be disappointed.

Winter? Winter can come and meet my Ice! quite pleased with the sword all in all, I think longclaw is next!

I just received this sword and it is beyond words. I feel powerful when I weild it. I dont have a large sword collection but of all the ones I do own this is my absolute favourite. A fantastic piece. Beautifully crafted. Thank you Valyrian Steel. Cheers to you all

My big ICE sword arrived today. What can i say... its awesome and it will be the king of my swords collection. The biggest of all of them for sure. Will look shiny in my wall... #1102

I received my Ice a few months back and it is an amazing sword.  I love collecting swords and this is my largest and most dazzling piece. The only let down is that it is not as strong as people make it out to be. I have heard reviews that it can be used as a functional sword, but just from holding it I can feel the wobble of the blade and an unsettling clicking in the hilt when the blade moves. However, as far as display purposes go </br>(which is all it should be used for), it is perfect. ICE#0291

I mentioned to my wife that I would like one of these and she went ahead and got one for me as a christmas present. I am very pleased with it except i feel the blade is a bit too thin but in saying that it is only meant as a display piece so all in all very pleased. A nice edition to my collection.</br>Sam The Slayer
