Man at Arms: Reforged Makes Ice from Game of Thrones
Man at Arms: Reforged has tackled so many weapons from fictional titles, you think they’d be out of options by now — however, there’s no shortage of weapons in video games, television, and beyond, In one of their most recent episodes, they focus on an important sword in Game of Thrones: Ice. The weapon belonging to Ned Stark is made from Valyrian steel in the books and television series. That’s not a real metal, but the Man at Arms crew points out the material looks a lot like Damascus steel. Watch the above to see how they craft a real-life version of the Stark sword.

We are angry, frustrated, and in pain because of the violence and murder of Black people by the police because of racism. We are in the fight AGAINST RACISM. George Floyd was murdered, his life stolen. The Adafruit teams have specific actions we’ve done, are doing, and will do together as a company and culture. We are asking the Adafruit community to get involved and share what you are doing. The Adafruit teams will not settle for a hash tag, a Tweet, or an icon change. We will work on real change, and that requires real action and real work together. That is what we will do each day, each month, each year – we will hold ourselves accountable and publish our collective efforts, partnerships, activism, donations, openly and publicly. Our blog and social media platforms will be utilized in actionable ways. Join us and the anti-racist efforts working to end police brutality, reform the criminal justice system, and dismantle the many other forms of systemic racism at work in this country, read more @ adafruit.com/blacklivesmatter
