House Of The Dragon Might've Confirmed The Origin Of GOT's Catspaw Dagger
House of the Dragon is bringing back Game of Thrones’ important Catspaw Dagger and has seemingly confirmed its previously unknown origins. The Catspaw Dagger, a highly valuable Valyrian steel knife, was significant from the beginning of Game of Thrones until the very end. The knife was first introduced inGame of Thrones’ second episode, which saw a mysterious catspaw; hence the nickname, attempt to murder Bran Stark using the blade, but Catelyn Stark successfully stopped the assailant. The Catspaw Dagger returned in Game of Thrones season 7 when Littlefinger gave it to Bran, who in turn gave it to Arya Stark. In one of the best moments of Game of Thrones season 8, Arya used the Valyrian steel dagger to kill the Night King, causing all White Walkers and wights to fall.
The first known owner of the Catspaw Dagger in Game of Thrones was Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish, who claimed to have lost it in a bet to Tyrion Lannister, which the latter character denied. Game of Thrones never confirmed who the Catspaw Dagger originally belonged to, but the characters explained that it had to have come from a particularly wealthy Westerosi. However, Samwell Tarly did realize that a Valyrian steel dagger was drawn in a book about the Long Night, but it’s unclear whether this was the same Catspaw Dagger or one of a similar design. Game of Thrones also suggested it had come from a Targaryen but never confirmed who had owned it before Littlefinger.
