Jon Snow’s Longclaw Brought To Life

We’re just past the mid-season of Game of Thrones, and the productions the show spawns just keep getting better, such as this recreation of one of the most iconic swords.

Gritty, realistic Game of Thrones is made with a lot of care and attention to detail, and that goes even for the swords. Master smith Man at Arms has created a video where he depicts the process that led to the creation of Jon Snow’s valyrian sword, Longclaw. Although a long process, it paid off as it came out quite faithful to both the books and the TV version. Being a valyrian sword, it does have the ripples, while the handle with a wolf’s head was taken straight from the TV.

Jon Snow’s Longclaw Sword Gets Forged for Real

Posted on by

Man at Arms’ Tony Swatton has forged many great fantasy weapons, bringing them into our world and making them real. This time around, thanks to many requests, he has made Jon Snow’s Longclaw sword from Game of Thrones. You know nothing, Jon Snow, but you do have a kick-ass sword.

I don’t know how many swords Tony has made by this point (no pun intended), but by now he could probably make himself an actual Iron Throne with all of them.

As usual, the finished sword looks pretty amazing, and even has the same intricate direwolf head pommel at the end of its hilt. You can see it in action at the end of the video.

Jon Snow would be so proud. Now I wonder if Tony Swatton has ever worked in Valerian steel…
