 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.

    Absolutely Outstanding

    Posted by Craig Navas on Jun 2nd 2012

    Received Longclaw #2279 yesterday afternoon.  The sword was much bigger than expected but is absolutely gorgeous.  The Valyrian Steel effect looks amazing, the care and detail put into it is second to none. The weapon has a nice weight to it and looks great on the wall. Totally worth the purchase for this amazing piece of craftsmanship.

    Fantastic Sword. Set up next to my Jon Snow poster. Only issue is me not writing the number on the certificate before laminating it.</br>Very Satisfied with Valyrian Steel and cannot wait to get the Bran Assassination Dagger when it is released.

    My copy of the beautiful stainless steel ASoIaF Longclaw arrived just after the 2012 Memorial Day holiday, right on the heels of Valyrian Steel's announcement that this hand-and-a-half beauty was now officially sold out; talk about cutting it a bit close!</br></br>As others have posted here, this is one beautiful, well-made sword, one of the very best 'wall hangers' I have in a </br>(select) collection of fantasy and movie-related reproduction swords. From its wonderfully executed color product packaging sleeve, to its sturdy styrofoam product container, which includes the silk-screened House of Stark wall-hanging plaque and the GRRM-signed certificate-of-authenticity, this sword reproduction package is more than value received, it is an outright bargain.</br></br>I can only imagine how terrific the HBO Game of Thrones series reproductions of Longclaw and the other on-screen used swords and knives will be, now that Valyrian has contracted to produce them for the growing and enthusiastic ASoIaF market.</br></br>My pocket book will be much, much lighter in the future, but I'll not be complaining: More than value received leaves no room for anything other than praise and a very big Thank You! </br></br>Bravo Valyrian Steel! Long may you forge.</br></br>--Ken Keller
