Game of Thrones: Here's Every Known Valyrian Steel Weapon

Need some weapons to wipe out White Walkers? Here are your best bets.

Dark wings, dark words. Spoilers for Game of Thrones through the most recent episode of Season 7 follow...

With the army of the dead on the march, Jon Snow scavenging distant caves for dragonglass, and the Catspaw Dagger coming back into the story, we thought we'd do a quick inventory of all the precious sharp objects out there, in Westeros, made of Valyrian steel.

These items of rare loot are needed to win the upcoming war with the Night's King, and right now some key players are in possession of them. Jon Snow, Jaime Lannister, and Brienne of Tarth all carry powerful swords that can obliterate White Walkers. Here's a look at all the current stabbing items made out of Valyrian steel:

As of "The Spoils of War," the Catspaw Dagger -- the knife that started the strife -- has found its way into Arya's capable clutches, and as we saw during her sparring session with Brienne, she knows how to use it.

Does this mean Arya might be on her way up to battle the undead hordes of the frozen (ultra) north? That's entirely possible, though it's more likely that this particular dagger, before it can be used as a magic zombie smiter, has unfinished business in Winterfell. There's a reason Littlefinger gave it to Bran, that much Sansa knows. But did Lord Baelish also intend for it to fall into Arya's hands or was that an unexpected misstep by a man who's usually able to anticipate all outcomes?

Ever since the cataclysmic "Doom of Valyria," no one's made weapons out of Valyrian steel, and so all the current swords have either been around for centuries, passed down as family heirlooms, or they've been forged from other, larger Valyrian steel weapons. However, with Jon Snow mining all that dragonglass in Dragonstone, at least there should be a solid array of other weapons also in use to kill the Night King and his army.

Where do you think the Catspaw Dagger is headed? Will Arya take it up to the Wall and use it to fight alongside the Hound and the Brotherhood? Or is it still the key to unlocking more of Littlefinger's treacherous secrets?
