Jaime later gives his yet-unnamed blade to Brienne to aid her in her task of rescuing Sansa.

Of all the names proposed by the attendants, Joffrey chooses 'Widow's Wail'. The second blade is given to Joffrey as a wedding gift at the breakfast before the wedding ceremony. What he does with the hilt afterwards is unknown. After throwing the scabbard into the fire, Tywin can be seen picking up Ice's now useless hilt from the edge of the fireplace. When Jaime asks about the source of the Valyrian steel, Tywin simply replies that 'the previous owner no longer needed it.' Tywin also callously burns Ice's wolf-pelt scabbard in the forge's fire, as an further gesture of spite and dishonor towards the Starks. However, due to Ice's substantial size, there's enough Valyrian steel to make two longswords. Ice is melted down on Tywin's orders by a Volantene blacksmith brought to King's Landing to make Jaime a new sword. In a show of twisted irony, Ice is the weapon used to kill Ned and is kept in King's Landing afterward as a trophy. When Ned is accused of treason, Ilyn Payne, the King's Justice, is ordered to kill him at King Joffrey. Later, Eddard cleans the sword in the godswood at Winterfell. He holds the sword before him as he passes the sentence.

Theon Greyjoy holds the scabbard, as Eddard draws the blade. Or, um, discussing it with custom woodworkers, forgers, and medieval combat afficionados.Eddard Stark uses Ice to behead Will, a deserter from the Night's Watch. Or wishing for just such an item to hang on my wall. *Ahem.* Not that I've spent a lot of time thinking about this or anything. Leather-wrapped for a couple of handwidths at the bottom of the haft, one handwidth at the top, and one handwidth halfway down - thisДЄllows a sure grip for a 'half swing,' which won't have quite the power of a full-extension rock-crusher, but still generates enough force to stave in most helmets (especially given Robert's strength), and won't take as long to get back to ready position as the previously-mentioned FERC swing. Steel for the head, as cast iron would be too soft, likely with very short pyramidal striking surfaces (which serves to concentrate the force of the blow without the risk of getting stuck in armor, as a footman's pick could), I'd think 12-16 pounds to hit the sweet spot between crushing power and speed. and we've already been kicking around ideas for King Robert's warhammer.ДЄ two-handed greathammer, perhaps, call it 35' of white ash or hickory for the haft, a steel runner down the front (for blocking). I hope you guys are as excited about this as I am.ДЄnd now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go make up some more cool swords. Meanwhile, check out the website for Valyrian Steel atДЇor more information about Jalic and its plans. You'll be able to see it on the news page of my website, along with a fuller version of this announcement. Chris and I have been trading emails for months, fine tuning the design, and we finally have one we love. The first Valyrian Steel blade that Jalic will be offering is Jon Snow's LONGCLAW. Any of the various weapons featured in the novels are fair game, and we've already been kicking around ideas for King Robert's warhammer, the golden blade of the Kingslayer, and of course Arya's Needle. but let me hasten to add that we won't be restricting ourselves to just the Valyrian blades mentioned in the books. Jalic's line of Westerosi weaponry will be sold under the name Valyrian Steel. Jalic is a new company, but its owner and proprietor, Chris Beasley, has been involved with making and selling swords, knives, and fighting steel for a long time, and brings a lot of experience and expertise to the project.
