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.

So cool!
Got my #0971 a few days ago, man this thing is awesome! Definitely the coolest thing I will ever own! Totally worth every penny!</br>The only complaint I have is that the &#039;IS&#039; in &#039;Winter is Coming&#039; on the mount is blocked when you hang the sword on it and looks like it reads &#039;Winter Coming&#039;. I suppose it&#039;s inevitable when there&#039;s big sword in the way, but it keeps it from being perfect.

Perfect VS0001
I just received my #0001 Long Claw. After reading all the reviews and looking at the pictures over and over again all I can say is that it is AMAZING... the craftsmanship on the sword is excellent. I was pleasantly surprised to find out I got #0001 after all this time the sword&acute;s been out there. It just makes it even more special and the perfect start of my collection. Thank you Valyrian Steel.

Fantastic
I received my #0228 on August 19th. I was very excited for this sword and in all honestly it was far better than I expected. To be honest I have never owned a sword before though many of my friends do. Compared to those they bought, this product was much much better. The overall quality is much higher and it shows. Seeing this sword up close is far better than any picture. The craftsmanship of the wolf&#039;s head just adds so much to the sword and the careful attention that was put into the blade itself is magnificent. I am completely satisfied and would recommend this sword to collectors or fans of the novels or television series.

Awesome!
I received #1149 on August 10, 2011. The sword exceeded my expectation. It is beautifully crafted and looks great on my wall! I love the details and the etchings on the blade. Looks pretty much what I had imagined the sword to look like. I&#039;ll definitely purchase another sword from Valyrian Steel in the future!

MY CLAW IS AS LONG AND AS SHARP AS YOURS, MY LORD
Sword is beyond beautiful. All the picture gazing never prepares you for when you see it with your own eyes and heft it with your own hands. Craftmanship is excellent, to the Valyrian etchings, crossguard, leather wrapping, and the wolf&#039;s head. Ornate for a bastard, but the plaque serves for how honorable of a blade it proudly displays. Would have paid a little bit more for a sheath and baldric from Valyrian if offered. Really makes you feel that when Winter comes, you&#039;ll be ready for it.

Nice
It looks great from a distance with good dimensions but on closer look the blade is too thin compared to it&#039;s width, though it&#039;s more than heavy enough as it is so I don&#039;t know if I would&#039;ve liked a &#039;fatter&#039; blade :P</br>Other than that great blade, and HUGE!</br>Don&#039;t swing with it though people, very dangerous...

Everything that I hoped for
Yesterday my Longclaw #0088 arrived in New Zealand. Unboxed it immediately and shared it around the office. Everybody, especially myself, was stunned a how &#039;real&#039; it felt. This is not your typical display sword. The weight is tremendous, the quality of the construction immaculate. The wolf&#039;s head pommel is the crowning glory. The feeling of wrapping my hands around Longclaw&#039;s leather grip for the first time will be a memory that I cherish for years to come. Thank you Valerian Steel!
