Valyrian steel is much lighter than one might expect, because it is the only metal that can be beaten as thin as it is and still retain its strength. The ripples in the steel, a mark of steel that has been folded on itself many thousands of times, is also a hallmark (III: 358, 359)

Cool!! I just saw the update on the USPS site that my Needle reached Chicago.

It’s here!!!
I got my Needle (serial 4) here in Bilbao, Spain. Just arrived this morning.
Perfect package, not a scratch, shining it all.
Thx!!!!

Valyrian,
Thank you… Needle is absolutely stunning.
Although the box was regrettably damaged during shipping (I swear Canada Post could crush a rock during delivery), I was extremely excited to discover that I had received Needle No.0002. Whether this was deliberate or completely random, I am truly grateful.
Like Longclaw, this exquisite sword is a treasure that I will forever cherish and display with pride.
Keep up the fantastic work Valyrian!

I just unpacked my Needle (#67). It is stunning, absolutely gorgeous.
You did a masterful piece of work, Valyrian!

Still haven’t received mine, and ordered it the day GRRM posted about it (1/15/10). I also can’t find a “contact us” link on this site to inquire about it.
