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.

Best Sword EVAR!
I received my 0117 Longclaw yesterday and I am absolutely thrilled with it! It arrived much, MUCH earlier than I was expecting </br>(6 days shipping!) and I didn&#039;t have to pay any extra customs or whatnot.</br>My only complaint is that the leather on the hilt is more ornamental than functional; it slips a bit with usage </br>(not tight to the hilt), I&#039;m afraid of tearing it so no playing with the sword!</br>I&#039;m quite the nerdy amateur photographer and I&#039;m editing a little video I made of the sword and its first mounting on the plaque on my wall, I&#039;ll post a link when I get it up on youtube!</br>Very quality product!!

Excellent product, stunning
Well, what can I say that has not been said already. This sword is amazing. My first sword I have ever owned and I am very happy this particular one was my first purchase. I&#039;m wondering, is there a way to put more of an edge on it? The tip of the blade is somewhat blunted. Though I won&#039;t be using it as a weapon, I would still like to sharpen the tip a bit.

Longclaw 928
Longclaw just arrived today. After reading all the good reviews I decided to order it and I can say I&#039;m impressed! Great craftsmanship on hilt, pommel, and blade. The pictures really do not do it justice. The blade really does &quot;sing&quot; as you swing it with no rattle at all. Overall solidly built great work Valyrian,now all I need is some armour. Excited for the hounds helm.</br></br>NOTE: For my fellow Canadians be prepared to pay extra for customs. I payed Ups basic to Toronto, but had an additional $54 C.O.D. Charge.</br></br>Still well worth it for the price Valyrian you just made another lifetime customer once I save up the cash :)
