Game of Thrones - Longclaw Letter Opener

Great product for all of your letter opening needs or to wave behind your husband's back in mock combat as he walks out of the room. *ahem* ...so I've heard. I purchased this because while I am attempting to justify the $200+ purchase of the 1:1 scale replica Longclaw, I have to make do with this and the Longclaw umbrella. For now, it appeases me in this regard. Nicely made product, no design or manufacturing flaws, and most importantly, cool looking. Great purchase for those of us obsessed with ASOIAF/GoT.

As an avid fan of the book series as well as the HBO series, it's hard to get enough GoT sometimes. This letter opener is very well made and worth every penny. The blade is nicely shaped and polished, though dull as a letter opener should be. The grip and direwolf pommel are nicely done and the ruby eyes are placed perfectly. This thing is pure awesomeness! There is an Ice version available from the HBO store which I cannot comment on as of yet, though one will soon be mine. I wish they made versions of all the swords.

I've never used a letter opener before but now I know why you need one. I used to either rip the mail open by hand, which is always a gamble if it will stay in a straight line, or use a small keychain knife. Both options are terrible compared to using an actual letter opener. This Longclaw letter opener is great. It's actually bigger than I expected and the details are nice. It's almost too nice to use, it could definitely work as a prop for a figure or something. Very sturdy and opens letters easily. I've seen some mention that it is too dull and requires a lot of effort. It's my understanding that letter openers are not supposed to cut, rather tear the edge open. I recommend the video "HOW TO USE A LETTER OPENER... Its not a knife" on YT. It works perfectly fine for me but maybe that's because I enjoy tearing mail open in swift strokes with this sword. It's definitely much more satisfying to open mail with Longclaw. I definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't have a letter opener or is looking for one with a nice design.

I have the larger replica from ValyrianSteel.com and this is a very good miniature version. Other reviews are right about the dullness of it. It's pretty thick for a letter opener. I'm a little perturbed that Ghost's snoot has been scratched(?) off at the top of the hilt. But it's nothing that I would bother complaining about in an official capacity. If it was sharper and there was no scratch then I would have given it 5 stars. It's good enough and lucky for me I'm not using it for its intended purpose. My dog is going to be Jon Snow for Halloween this year and it's the perfect size for her to wield against the night's evil Walkers and other misc monsters. (So I'm actually very glad it is not too sharp!)

I love this sword! It’s sturdy and love the details! Even though it has a small defect I’m still going to give it five stars. For a collector this would be unacceptable but for my use I’m ok with it. Well packaged. I love GOT! See picture for small defect.

What can I say? Jon Snow knows how to help me open letters with style. As long as you have to pay bills, you may as well do it with style and ritual. This letter opener is so well made! It's also bigger than I expected which is great for opening small package envelopes. Avoid paper cuts and open your bills with some panache. Plus it looks great on your desk. I'm so pleased with it.

Nice letter opener if you’re a fan of GOT. Looks exactly like the sword on the show. The tip is sharp but the edges aren’t so this will work only as a letter opener not a general purpose knife. I returned the first one I bought because the tip was not sharp either and it was essentially useless. The replacement had a nice sharp tip though.

Excellent craftmanship and sturdy, comfortable feel. The show may have ended on a sour note but opening the mail with the Lord Commander of the Night Watch's sword is still pretty neat.
