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.

Longclaw!
Great sword, much bigger than I expected but has a great feel to it, it's a one hander for me.

LONGCLAW #927
A very handsome and solidly constructed blade indeed- I wonder what kind of tang is on this beauty? Has a solid bit of heft and feels good in the hand. Only one minor design flaw: the langet facing in toward hilt will "nip," you if you're not careful. Longclaw demands respect, even for a decorative sword! My original plaque did not line up properly, but the folks at Valyrian/Jalic happily replaced it and now Longcaw hangs straight and true. I like this blade so much that I've commissioned a scabbard maker to make a scabbard worthy of the blade. Well done!

Longclaw #1916
Received the sword today in the U.K. had an extra &pound;30 to pay on customs here but I was expecting more so wasn&#039;t a shock. </br></br>The Sword itself is of great quality and the help from Valyrian Steel was flawless, quick and knowledgeable support.</br></br>Would of been perfect had the certificate of authenticity been filled in with the edition number. Other than that, absolutely perfect.

Quest complete
Oh boy, that was a difficult quest. Elite monsters like incompetent German border customs or credit cards that won&#039;t get accepted by american banks, while my bank tells me that &quot;everythings fine&quot;. But thanks to Valyrian Steel, their patience and help, everything turned out great. I would give more than 5 stars if only I could. </br></br>The sword itself is amazing, just like everyone said already.
