Book Longclaw, Sword of Jon Snow

OMG!</br>This is what I said when i opened the box containing Longclaw.</br>I thought it was beautyful even watchin it on photos. But now i think it's even better!</br>Textures on the blade are awesome. The blade results dark as i always imagined valyrian steel.</br></br>Nothing else to say. Looking forward for Ice and Oathkeeper.</br></br>Bye </br>(sorry for my bad english)

It was either this or a Heron-Marked blade of Wheel of Time fame, as a Birthday present.  The very cool etching in the steel really adds to the feel and look, making this something very different from any other display sword I have seen.  </br></br>If you are a GRRM fan or just a fan of fantasy weaponry in general, this is a MUST HAVE!</br></br>-jh

I pre ordered this sword waaaaay back when they first allowed it to be preordered and had to make myself forget about it for a little while as they worked through the art, preproduction, manufacturing, and shipping phases of creating it so I could bare the wait for this masterpiece.  </br></br>But when the time came, I was updated by Valyrian Steel that the swords had shipped, emailed with my tracking number, and sure enough, it was on my doorstep before the year ended just as they had promised.  </br></br>The quality of the sword is outstanding.  I show piece only, for sure, but well crafted and balanced, and shipped with both an amazing wall mount and a certificate of authenticity signed by George R R Martin.  </br></br>Fantastic piece, Fantastic buying experience, Fantastic Company.  I cannot wait until the next release.</br>

I'd like to state that this is the first sword I've ever purchased, and can hence make no comparisons. I can tell you, however, that this is a marvelous piece of craftsmanship. It now hangs proudly on my wall, and everyone I know is interested in seeing it. It excelled my expectations, and for the price, there is hardly anything that can compare in terms of quality. I wish Valyrian Steel and Jalic success in their future endeavours, and I intend to contribute to it with their future products. If you're hesitating, don't. You can only be satisfied with Longclaw.

i just got longclaw in the mail and it is just like i thought it would be like.it's a great sword thank u

I don't know much about swords.  I know I like to read about them, but never handled one in real life.  Let me tell you.....This piece is heavy!  The blade enlightens you to the athleticism needed to be proficient wielding that much steel.  Kudos, Jon Snow!  </br></br>The entire package is superb.... Plaque, COA, etched numbering.  I have #0074!</br></br>But the greatest qualities about this sword are the little things. The sound of the Leather wrap while gripping the hilt.  The ringing steel when mounting/unmounting from the plaque.  The great balance of weight in your hand.  All these things I've read about but never understood until now.</br></br>Thanks all at Valyrian Steel.  Thanks G R.R. Martin.</br></br>

The sword is amazing to look at and feels great in the hand. The plaque also looks great and the sword hangers are much superior to some sword hangers although they are pssibly too clse together making lifting the sword out difficult.</br></br>Otherwise the sword is great and gets full marks from me and i thoroughly look forward to future swords.

I ordered this as a Birthday present to myself </br>(yes, lame I know!) last week, and it arrived much faster than I expected. Only thing I didn't like was that FedEx left the package outside...in the blizzard Buffalo is currently having. The blade was ice cold when I received it, which was neat. I had a brief sensation of the knowledge of what it must be like to stand guard on the Wall.</br></br>Anyway, the sword is beautiful. Wonderfully crafted, and perfect in every detail. The Wolf's Head pommel is marvelous, and looks amazing. The only thing I found strange was that in the books, I remember reading about how Vanlyrian Steel blades had hints of red and black in them, yet there are no such markings. A small thing that is easily cast aside when you hold this!</br></br>I am eagerly awaiting Ice!!!!</br></br>Admin note: The only Valyrian blades with red in them were Oath Keeper and Widow's Wail, that Tywin Lannister had made from the melted down Ice. They had red in them because Tywin had the smith add a dye, which only partially took. </br></br>When we make Oath Keeper it will have red in it.

Great sword, nice plaque. I was very happy to find that even though I was included in the International Orders shipment, I still recieved number 0320 which is fairly low. It's nice to know that they kept their word and randomized shipments.</br></br>I'm also very pleased with the wolfs head, it is very obviously not stone, BUT there are 0 casting lines any where on the sword. I have a 400 dollar sword from another company with multiple cast lines. I also have a hand forged claymore that ran around 600 that is usable for SCCA and such that is vastly inferior in detail compared to Longclaw.</br></br>I couldn't be happier, and am enthusiasticly awaiting the next bit of steel.
