Ice, Sword of Eddard Stark

My sword was absolutely beautiful! It came in today, and opened it up and hung it up with my Robb stark and long claw sword. I ran into one issue while opening it- a dead moth was in the wrapping. Luckily it was on the outside of the wrapping so it didn\\\'t mess up the blade. Otherwise, awesome sword!

I just received my ICE Sword of Eddard Stark and the first thing I thought when I opened the box was "this sword is huge". And it is, this blade towers over all others and it is made of great quality. I wished I had purchased it earlier. For those of you who are on the fence on purchasing ICE, I can not recommend it more. It is an outstanding sword and the price is fantastic. I can't wait to hang it up on my wall, it's a fantastic conversation starter. Remember though, the blade is made from high carbon steel so it will corrode if you don't maintain it. Try not to touch it with your fingers as the oils in your hands will also corrode the blade. It's going to be hard to have guests not touch the blade with their bare hands but a little kind reminder never hurts. For those of you who have this sword already, you know what I mean when I say it's an awesome purchase. For those of you who don't have one yet....What are you waiting for! THE NORTH REMEMBERS!

I do not personally own this blade, but a friend of mine does.  It\'s absolutely HUGE.  I\'ve been collecting blades of all sizes for over 15 years, and this is a fairly impressive piece simply because of its immense and gargantuan size.  For a sword of this length and breadth, I personally would prefer a higher grade of carbon steel other than 1060 </br>(considered the bare minimum for most long blades), but if it\'s heat treated correctly then I suppose it isn\'t too crucial.  The fact that the blade comes unsharpened is a bit of a downer too.  Unless you know how to do it yourself </br>(which most people cannot do properly), it is a bit pricey to have it sharpened professionally.  The other thing that made me a little wary was the price tag.  It\'s only $300, which is pretty inexpensive/low in the world of real functional blades.  It makes me concerned that some corners might be cut in order to bring costs down.  In the world of real blades, a functional sword of this size made with proper techniques and steel would be in the $800 range, minimum.  How they keep it at $300 is a mystery to me.  At any rate, without speaking to its functionality </br>(which I cannot because I have not seen one from this company used to cut anything), it\'s a very nice piece and very beautiful for the price.  Definitely a great conversation starter and would make a very nice center piece to any collection.  If you are a big fan of the show, I definitely say spend that $300 to get this behemoth.  The display plaque that comes with it is also very nicely done, and a rather beautiful addition to this already attractive piece.  Also, you better be a real man if you plan on swinging this beast around.  It\'s got some serious heft to it, and if you really commit to a swing with it you better have a solid stance and a firm grip or it will really get away from you </br>(or take you with it, as it did with my friend\'s my little brother LOL).  Oh yeah, and don\'t forget to keep it oiled and keep your grubby fingers off the blade!  It is carbon steel, so it will rust if you do not take care of it, especially if you touch the blade with your nasty paws.  Wear gloves or handle with a lightly oily rag, or if you must touch it wash your hands </br>(then oil it after). Keep your hands off the brass bits as well.  The oils from your fingers will cause it to tarnish, and even will discolor the wood of the hilt over time.  Enjoy your enormous, giant-slaying sword!

I love the sword its big and you will the heart of the north in this blade. So would so have braced your self winter is here

Brilliant product, incredibly well put together and weighs a ton. Looks amazing put on the plaque on the wall.

All I can say is Wow!!! I received Ice for a Christmas present and I have to say I am truly impressed. The sword was very well packaged and arrived unharmed to South Florida. The blade came coated in oil and wrapped in plastic to protect it against rust. The packaging was re-enforced with small blocks of wood at the sword point and the end of the hilt to ensure that it didn't break through the packaging which is great once you consider the overall size and weight. Construction of the sword itself is flawless. It is well balanced and visually stunning. The plaque is not as well made but the quality of the sword more than makes up for it. I give it 5 silver stags. I would recommend this item to any GOT fan who can afford the $300 price tag.

I ordered this on the 3rd of December for my boyfriend. I live in Canada so I thought I would be waiting awhile for it but it came today</br>(the 11th)! My boyfriend loves it. He was so surprised, definitely earned me extra brownie points :) I didnt have to pay anything extra when it arrived either which was a huge relief. It is so heavy and huge  the size alone is impressive. If I didnt know how much it cost I would never guess $300. My only complaint is the wall mount isnt holding up the sword. The holes are too close together but Nate will be able to fix this. If you are thinking about ordering it do it!! I will definitely be ordering more stuff from here

This is a excellent sword very well made and heavy. The plaque is top quality too. </br>Thank you Valyrian Steel.</br>And my mum and sisters.

Like most people who enjoy eating wings, I always have issues with meat getting stuck in my teeth. Well not anymore, thanks to this baby I can get my teeth clean no problem... Or slay a giant... Whichever situation presents itself first! :)
