Product Description

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 squire, 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. Sword Details Blade: 39" stainless steel, etched pattern, 3 fullers. Hilt: Cast metal with antique nickel plate. Genuine leather wrap. Pommel: Powder coated metal with acrylic faux garnet eyes. Plaque: Silkscreened fiber board. Includes mounting hardware.

After receiving the sword in the mail recently, I realized that the weight of it was a lot heavier than expected. I thought that the sword was simply a replica. Boy was I wrong.

I immediately left the warm, safe confines of my chamber to beyond the Wall and immediately tested the sword on some Whitewalkers. Cut right through their undead flesh like a hungry dire wolf through a freshly butchered steak.

It was only after a brief tussle with a wildling woman did I feel revitalized from expending so much energy wielding this sword. I now feel confident that myself and other members of the Night's Watch will be able to defend the 7 Kingdoms from any blue eyed devils that might try to penetrate our mighty mortared structures.

Although I am not officially a Stark, I am trained enough to wield a sword as mighty as this.

Well worth the price. Looks great displayed in my foyer. It's heavy, it's cool, and I love it! "Stick 'em with the pointy end."

Some on here claim this sword to be inferior, well if your plans are to hack down a tree with it then you may be right. This is a true representation of Jon Snow's Longclaw, a Valayrian Steel sword from the House Mormont , a house in service of House Stark. If you want a fine tuned piece of steele then order the Damascus Longclaw but only 100 of those were made. You can still order the Damascus version of Ice and have a truly epic piece of steel. And for the Record Longclaw #1516 is mounted on my wall and is awesome. I have held many replicated swords and this one is by far the most superior in quality. Thinking about the getting King Robert Baratheon's War Hammer, another fine piece of weaponry.
