Game of Thrones Longclaw, Sword of Jon Snow

I bought this sword because like most of you, I'm a fan of GOT. And if you get this as a gift for the GOT you know, I assure you he or she will be thrilled.Most surprising to me, this is an actual sword. It has the weight, heft, and feel of a sword they would have used in GOT times. If I sharpened it, the blade would be more deadly than it already is.Warning: This is NOT a toy folks, definitely not something to get children unless he or she can be totally trusted NOT to take this outside the house.Bonus Warning: This thing is very heavy. And the tip of the sword is deadly. If you drop it, the sword can maim, injure, or kill. For these reasons when you hang it on the wall make sure it is firmly mounted. You do not want it falling on to the floor and injuring a toddler or pet.Review: This sword is quality made. I was surprised just how well it is constructed. And as a bonus it came with the wood shield which makes for an impressive decor in my den.The quality of this sword is outstanding for the price paid. (Note: I was thinking about buying the Long Claw scabbard for this sword, but reviews I read about it is that people were VERY DISAPPOINTED with that. Complaints were serious enough that I decided to pass on purchasing it. Near as I can tell, the scabbard is NOT intended to be worn often, much less to carry a heavy sword in it. People say it falls apart, even when wearing once. I think it is intended for display, not for, e.g., a Halloween costume.Anyway, the sword, shield (mount), and hardware came in a nice box. That box was shipped in an outer cardboard box which protected the contents quite well. Everything arrived damage free, which was nice.If you are only thinking about buying this, get off your ass and send in your payment. Will be one of the better decisions you made in life.

I purchased this sword as a gift for my boyfriend who is a huge game of thrones fan and Jon Snow is his favorite character. Everything arrived together and as pictured, just be sure to check under the styrofoam package for the plaque and certificate in a separate box because it is easy to overlook and at first thought it wasn't sent with my package. The styrofoam packaging slides into a paper sleeve with an image of the sword on it and it really adds to appeal since it is a gift. The quality is excellent- heavy metal, the wolf at the top is made of something that feels kind of like porcelain and has red gems for eyes. The hilt feels and smells like genuine leather (my puppy wouldn't stop sniffing it lol). There were only a couple imperfections I found: a small scratch in the hilt of the sword and some of the paint had been chipped off of the plaque. Both are very minor flaws that my boyfriend probably won't even notice, but for almost $300, this set should be spotless. Still a great buy and definitely worth the money!

Okay, let me just say that this is by far the most badass (pardon my language) thing I have ever purchased off of Amazon. This thing is the real deal, I am a huge fan of the show and am going to start reading the books. This thing is a great conversation piece. I hung it on my wall and plan to do more stuff around it in time. It is very easy to mount and hang, it comes with all the necessary hardware to do so. The sword is package very carefully and secure, the blade even has a plastic lining on it so that you don't get finger prints all over it when handling it. The sword itself is made of all high quality materials and feel very authentic and heavy. The sides of the blade are not super sharp but the tip is, just as a heads up. It even comes with a certificate of authenticity that I plan to frame and hang next to the sword. The plaque it hangs on is also made with quality materials and craftsmanship. Cant wait to show this off, Im so in love with it!

Gentile alike, whether thy are friend or foodI write this review as if I were the last to behold such a blade as this...Alas, it failed me, for it is but a mockery of that which is intended to be. As I grasp its cold embrace, my hand fells short of a sturden grip.It is nothing more than a lie, as it loosens its cold lifeless grip amongst my hands.In less words, this is nothing more than a cheap knock-off. The weight is off, the hand grip is unbelievably impossible to hold in any battle, as blood, sweat, and any moisture of any kind would make this sword impossible to wield.Sadly, this is just a mantle piece.

I had to get this after reading other positive Amazon reviews on its quality. It arrived yesterday just before we watched the finale, S8E6, and how fitting to have it on display in our living/theater room. Packaging was stellar as far as protecting the sword and the discreet nature of the shipping box was perfect. It could have been a fishing pole from the outside. But faaar heavier! The sword is a beast. The tip is deadly sharp (and protected by a plastic shipping tip which immediately came off). Jon Snow's sword is called "Longclaw" and the name fits. Well made and perfect for display -- or fending off the door to door salesmen/religious nuts that come knocking. ;)

I was a little nervous about such a blind purchase for the price tag. I was BLOWN away when I received it! It’s beautiful, sturdy, heavy and so realistic. Not one flaw as far as I’m concerned. Received it on time and it was discretely packaged not to ruin an awesome Christmas gift. It NOT sharpened, I’m cool with that. Definitely authentic, with certificates of authenticity. I searched for a flaw but none to be found. For a collection and a fan, it’s perfect. The needle sword is next on my list!
