 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.

    I am very happy with the overall quality of this blade! The detail is awesome & it has a nice heft. It is a fine & accurate copy based on the description in the books & the quality of the sword really needs to be seen & held to be believed. Shipping was fast & reasonable. I cannot wait to purchase Ice & hang it up with the rest of my swords...

    This is my first replica sword and I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed.  The attention to detail is great, the plaque is awesome and it looks fantastic hanging on my wall.  I hope the rest of the Song of Ice and Fire blades and crafted with the same attention to detail.  Keep it up Valyrian Steel!!

    Looks Fantastic

    The sword looks great, and Valyrian is a good company who effectively communicates with their customers. I hung it on the wall with the plaque </br>(included) next to the certificate </br>(Signed by GRRM) and it makes me smile when walking through the room. It looks exactly as I imagined it in the books, and for the price it is a great replica blade. Can't wait for the next ones, needle in high carbon is something to be exited about and Ice is sure to be magnificent. Get your Ice & Fire blades here folks!

    Extremely Satisfying

    Posted by Chris on Jan 6th 2009

    Whether you're a fan of George R. R. Martin or just had the thought "Who is that guy?" run through your head reading this, Longclaw is a wonderful sword.  No matter who you are, you have to be amazed by Valyrian Steel's attention to detail with this thing.  The ripples from being folded are just as I imagined them, and the finish is great too.</br></br>Like Rebecca, I too am now a lifelong customer.

    Very pleased customer!

    Longclaw is absolutely amazing!  The attention to detail is outstanding, and the finish on the blade is superb looking.  I can't praise this sword enough, and I have to admit that Valyrian Steel now has a lifelong customer -- the next pieces in the series are a must have for this fan.

    The sword is amazing I was sooo excited when I received it, only think that made me mad was Fedex didnt require a signature and left this baby outside in the cold for someone to steal, luckly I had someone watching for it and put it in my house when it arrived or I would have been super pissed :)</br></br>Other than that, I cant wait for the next sword :)

    The title pretty much speaks for its self, the sword is wonderful, I can't wait to get my hands on the next one. The ripple finish is great.
