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.

Amazing sword #780
I was very pleased with my purchase, through pictures I thought I wouldn&#039;t like the design that makes it look like &quot;valyrian steel&quot;, but once I opened it up all my expectations were blown out of the water.</br></br>Only complaint I have is that there is a scratch in the white paint over the wolf&#039;s eye on the plaque, where the grey behind it shows, you can&#039;t see from a distance, though, but that&#039;s the only reason its only a 4/5 on this review.

WoW!!!!!
Thank you so much, this year Ihad a stroke at 35, my wife left, lost custody of my child, and my grandmother died. With this sword my son, who I now share, knighted me. As a father I am his protector, from where Longclaw hangs you can sense a family heirloom that I will I&#039;ve my son one day. Valerian Steel and Mr. Martin made this a year of turn around for me. I can&#039;t thank you enough! It has given me the confidence to write again through the pain. May God bless each and every one of you, You could not have made a better product. You all should be so proud.

Winter has comed
Just recieved my &quot;1536&quot; longclaw, totally leggendary! And the best part is that, we had a fairly warm winter season here in northern italy this year, but the same day as my sword is delivered a cold front of polar air comes and kicks the &deg;T below zero...</br>I guess for me the winter has truly come</br></br>and now, off to the workshop to build a scabbard!

Brillant
I have just recieved my &quot;1525&quot; Longclaw today </br>(England, London) had to pay customs duty, Import VAT with parcel force, but Im more than happy with the Sword, it looks awesome, a highly detailed and well made sword, much bigger than i inspected!! but will look so good up on its mount next to the rest of my sword collection. the only small thing is its a shame it does not come with a scabbard! but even so, im still very impressed Thank you very much
