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.

Winter is Here
Received my Longclaw #1133. Love it. Mounted it on my wall within minutes. Also accidentally drew blood with the pointy end already. Just a little blood. ;)

A perfect work of art
I just got my #85 all the way in New Zealand a week after purchasing it. I received it in the morning and it proved detrimental to my punctual arrival at work. The quality of the product is nothing short of amazing: It&#039;s heavy, and feels incredibly solid to hold. </br>(Albeit a little wobbly, but emphases on a little.) This is definitely going on a wall to be displayed proudly. :)

Awesome Sword
Just got #87 in Nova Scotia,Canada. It took about 8 days to arrive and 12 days to recieve it </br>(a mix up at post office). It is everything I thought it would be, The wolf head is imo the best part. Trying to decide if I should buy ice or wait and see what oathkeeper looks like.

An Honor
My Longclaw, number 595, was delivered today, a birthday gift from my son who introduced me to George R. R. Martin and A Song of Ice and Fire. I am humbled to be an owner of this extraordinary piece of art, representing the finest traditions of honor and strength. The craftsmanship is outstanding, the heft and feel is powerful and awe-inspiring. This is a piece that anyone would be proud to own and display, whether or not they were familiar with its background and story. Well done, Valyrian Steel!

A very happy customer
I have been a reader of Mr. Martin for a number of years and have greatly enjoyed his &quot;A Song of Ice and Fire&quot; series. I was excited when the HBO series came out, hoping the best and for once that hope was well rewarded. My father and I ended up sharing the HBO series and he became enamored of Martin&#039;s Universe of the deadly, beautiful, profane and divine. Last week I ordered Longclaw as a birthday present for him as he not only identified with the character of Jon Snow, but also has great affection for wolves. It arrived today and is in pristine condition, I&#039;m sure in just the way that it shipped. No hassle, no fuss and I feel quite sure that if there had been any problem that the folks @ Valyrian Steel would&#039;ve come to the rescue. I am more then pleased with this purchase and will certainly procure further swords from here. Thank you very much for making this a special birthday for us all.

Amazing piece of art
Don&#039;t think of this just as a sword - it&#039;s as fine a work of art as any sculpture, painting or photo hanging on my wall. The attention to detail is fantastic, and it&#039;s an impressive display in every respect. Thank you Valyrian Steel!

Beautiful!
Just un-boxed Longclaw #583, and Valyrian Steel has done an amazing job with it, this sword is definitely a piece of art! Can&#039;t wait to see what it looks like mounted on the wall in my room! Will be ordering Ice, and Needle very soon :)</br></br>My only gripe is that the C.O.D charge was a little higher than I expected it to be </br>($85). But I guess that&#039;s to be expected when importing goods, especially when it&#039;s a sword :p
