Game of Thrones - vol II - NO SPOILERS
Discussion
I thought (though happy to be corrected), that after the initial smelting of the alloy, if you then remelted it all the crystal structure was irreparably changed and much of the properties lost?
With the hammering stage of forging not only forming the rough shape but also percussively ensuring the crystal structure d aligned and therefore as strong /ductile as you desire in a bladed weapon?

Arya was playing the game of many faces, look at everything she said to Sansa. She's got it sussed.
I reckon Little Finger will meet and untimely demise on a tiny sword.https://youtu.be/LkVRX-L7WIM

I'd agree with that. They show snippets of next weeks show on Thronecast too.
I'm a spoiler Nazi and am firmly of the view that the previews are definitely not spoilers, as they're in the public domain.On rewatching there's a lot to like about episode 6 that goes a bit to the wayside by the Hollywood cheese unfortunately. Needless sacrifice of Benjen, miraculous Jon surviving the water, random extras dying during the fight that hadn't been seen as part of the group and all round s
te plan in the first place. The type of character actions expected on TWD, but at least they didn't give their graphics to The Walking Dead guys on the animals! (That infamous deer) The bear was genuinely frightening and the dragons are spectacular. Part of her training was seeing through lies hence the game, go and look what she says again to sansa.
The game of faces is to see if someone is lying to you, remember if you fail to spot a lie in the game you are not no one.
Now she knows Sansa isn't lying but LF is, she is no one, a follower of death and death is her gift

I don't see why it would be irreparable, it's just a solution after all.With the hammering stage of forging not only forming the rough shape but also percussively ensuring the crystal structure d aligned and therefore as strong /ductile as you desire in a bladed weapon?
The crystal structure of steel changes every time it is heated until it is non-magnetic (for all intents and purposes). The idea that forging inherently improves the steel is incorrect, you are more likely to introduce negative changes than positive ones due to the number of heat cycles. In a GoT type set up there is no choice, of course.
A sword or a knife is forged - heated to non-magnetic to reset the grain structure - quenched (hard and brittle) - normalised/stress relieved - tempered
It could be ground before or after it is heat treated. I'd say these days the vast majority of knife makers do it afterward as the thicker stock is less likely to warp or crack, and prior to HT the steel is gummy on abrasives. For very wear resistant steels you don't have much choice though.

If ever a show benefited from re-watching, it's this.
Indeed, just fell on this little gem.Listen to this at 0:44:

As I posted earlier, all my knowledge has come from a recent discovery of Forged in Fire on the History channel, which has prompted me to learn some knife making in the new year.
Love the charcoal forges, and was amazed to hear they get hotter than gas ones!

As in both eyes are the same stone; if you look into one eye the light comes through from the other eye. So the black glove on a white background in front of one eye would change the colour of the other eye.
Yeah I can see that, with the movement of the second hand there are more droplets of water, the eye clearly glistens
