I was shocked to see in GOT Season 5 Episode 8, when
a white walker attacked Jon Snow, he killed him with his sword.
Can anyone explain how could this happen?
AFAIK,
white walkers can be killed with only dragon glass.
Answer
No, His sword was made of Valyrian steel.
White walkers can be killed using Valyrian steel as well. As per the show John himself was not aware of it till the time he was able to kill whitewalker with his sword.
He earned it from Jeor, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch before him.
As Per GOT Wiki:
Valyrian steel is recognizable from its sharpness, as well as a distinctive rippled pattern visible in blades made from it. Valyrian steel is one of the few things that can kill White Walkers, alongside dragonglass, although this property is not widely known, apparently, not even to the White Walkers themselves.
