About Longclaw
For five centuries the Valyrian steel sword Longclaw was carried by the Lords of Bear Island in the service of the Starks of Winterfell. Passed from father to son, the hand-and-a-half sword - called a bastard sword by the uncouth - had a great history while in their possession. That came to an end, however, when the last lord of the House, Jorah Mormont, was disgraced and fled Lord Stark's justice. Jorah went into exile, but left behind the sword which then found its way back to his father, Jeor, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
Longclaw was kept out of sight, until the fateful night came when a wight - a dead man brought to life by creatures out of nightmarish legend - sought to throttle the Old Bear in his sleep. It was his steward, Jon Snow, and Snow's albino direwolf Ghost who rescued him by setting the wight ablaze. Though part of Lord Jeor's apartments were burned down following this, the fire would need to have burned a hundred times hotter to harm the blade that was forged in old Valyria before the Doom. The ancient silver bear's head pommel and the hilt was burned, but these were replaced at the Old Bear's command with something befitting Snow. Given the sword, now adorned with a wolf's head pommel, and the opportunity to rename it as a gift. Jon Snow responded that wolves have claws just as bears do, and kept the proud name as it was.

Crazy Sharp
Excellent. My only concern with the product is that my friend Azor keeps calling it Lightbringer for some reason. Whatever, it kills White Walkers and that is all that matters at the end of the day.

Gorgeous Sword
Longclaw is simply a beautiful piece of work. The blade is enormous. It's tough to visualize what a 39" blade will look like accurately without holding it in your hands and seeing it stretch toward the sky. The wolf's head pommel is bigger than expected, but after my initial shock at the size I rather like it. Hung on my wall it has the effect of making me seem like a really cool person, and although I haven't yet tested the theory I suspect it will make picking up girls really easy.
