 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.

    Great Sword!!

    Posted by Tim J on Jun 22nd 2011

    I just recieved this sword yesterday, and it's a nice piece of work, especially given the price. It's heavier and bigger than I imagined, but that's a good thing! I will definitely be purchasing Ice soon, as well as Needle, and any other weapon that comes through the pipeline.

    AMAZING

    Posted by Andrew Dowey on Apr 13th 2011

    Just recieved Longclaw #1703 today and am very impressed. It is alot bigger than I had imangined it to be and the blade is beautiful with the triple fuller and I can't praise the wolf pommel enough!! The grip surprised me also with how soft and high quality it was. Great work and this will make a great addition to my collection. Looking forward to collecting whatever else you my come up with.

    It is wonderful!

    Posted by Jeramy on Mar 30th 2011

    I received my Longclaw #1385 today and it is awesome! The Wolf pommel is well shaped and flawless. The grip looks and feels good. The valyrian steel effect on the blade looks good and makes it original to anything I have. I'm thinking of hanging it in my living room and I will be keeping my Ice pre-order.</br></br>Two things that need fix are that the serial number is not written or typed on the certificate </br>(even though there is a specific spot printed for it) and the word "China" is printed on the blade </br>(backside, near the serial number and trademark stuff).

    Longclaw is fantastic!

    Posted by Margie on Jan 21st 2011

    Got my Longclaw yesterday.  It is AWESOME!!!  I thought it looked good on the website but in real life it's amazing.  I love the rippling effect on the steel but the pommel is the best part - absolutely love it.  </br></br>And I'm also very impressed with VS customar service - I had to postpone delivery since I was away in December and they were able to delay sending it out for me.  Their communication was also very good as well.  Well done guys!  I hope you'll have great success with this line.

    Winter Has Come

    A stunning blade of impeccable craftsmanship. Though thinner at the edge than most replicas I've encountered, the blade wobbles not at all. The smoky finish of the steel evokes Martin's imagery of old Valyria's legendary craftsmanship perfectly, and the wolf's head pommel caps a gorgeous piece.
