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.

37 of 43 people found the following review helpful Quite the sword for defeating foes!, June 21, 2011 By  Bryan Johns - See all my reviews    = Durability:  = Fun:  = Educational:  This review is from: Longclaw, Sword of Jon Snow. Licensed from George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones" (Misc.) 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.

This review is from: Longclaw, Sword of Jon Snow. Licensed from George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones" (Misc.) This has to be one of the coolest things I've ever bought from Amazon. The sword itself is nothing short of pure awesomeness! The way the blade is designed you have no doubt it is Valyrian Steel. I can't wait to get to the wall and test this baby out.
