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.
Great sword. My nitpick is that the etching that creates the rippling effect of the Valyrian steel seems to me to make the sword feel more like a toy and less like a weapon. And the wolf&#039;s short nose makes it feel a bit like a pup.&lt;br /&gt;</br>&lt;br /&gt;</br>Nice weight, nice flex.&lt;br /&gt;</br>&lt;br /&gt;</br>Oh, and it would&#039;ve been nice if the certificate were numbered -- though it seems they&#039;re shipping &#039;em in fairly random order, anyway. </br>(I seem to have #900.)

Absolutely Beautiful
Just opened the box about 10min ago. Very impressed to say the least. I can&#039;t wait to get my hands on needle,since Arya Stark is my favourite character ! The packaging is awesome, very classy looking. Definitely worth preserving all by itself .</br>(to Valyrian steel) Here&#039;s hoping you get good sales and are able to continue the series. Just be patient because alot of people are not even aware you exist. I&#039;ll try to spread the word. It&#039;s my first sword and I love it. Canadian customers be prepared to pay an extra 40$ due to a customs charge. Oh it&#039;s worth it!!! Proud owner of #406...yipppppeeee

A very inspired product.
I recieved Longclaw last week. I am impressed with the feel and heft. The product is beautiful. I have a new found respect for this type of weapon; as is, it is very dangerous. If it was sharpened... </br></br>I&#039;m proud to own #1189. I was disappointed to learn that we couldn&#039;t request the number, it was hand written on the exterior of the shipping box so it would be a moderate logistical problem to solve. My only significant dissapointment was that my certificate does not have the number of the sword on it, how does this certify anything without a number to prove it? I love the fact that GRRM signed it himself, but with the number field blank I feel that part of the importance and significance of the package was lacking.</br></br>I was very impressed with the glossy packaging, I&#039;ll have to preserve it somehow.</br></br>The shield display rack is a nice touch.</br></br>I gave it a 4 out of 5 rating because of the blank number field on the certificate. The actual sword is wonderful and beautiful. If I ever have a chance to attend a signing I&#039;ll have GRRM number the certificate himself </br>(if he will, some authors just write their name to speed the line along; I&#039;d expect GRRM to have some long lines).</br></br>Now I&#039;m very interested in Needle, keep the news coming in on this one! Longclaw was impressive, but Needle will proabably be quite the wicked blade.</br></br>Thanks for all the hard work and effort in making this an inspired product. I hope the Valyrian Steel line has a long and successful life. Hopefully the possible TV series only helps your business!

Amazing!!!
I just got my Longclaw today and this is my first Knightly sword. And it is amazing. I love it. If you are a fan of Ice and Fire or a fan of Jon Snow you NEED this sword on your wall.

Its what you want
Its more than you want it to be. I don&rsquo;t know much about swords. I thought it was going to be a lot less impressive than it is. Its now hanging in my family&rsquo;s sitting room. Those of my family that have read the books love it and it is and it is a reminder of how important the storyline is to them, not just John Snow, but the whole of a song of ice and fire. Those who havn&rsquo;t read the books are promised to read it in the near future, from the enthusiasm brought up from conversation from the sword, and the family pressure on what they&#039;re missing out on. I feel attached to this sword. Its now a part of the family.
