Norse TradesmanXL Viking Drinking Horn Mug - 100% Authentic Flame Treated Beer Horn Tankard With Engravings | The Jarl, approx. 30 oz

This product is excellent for cold beverages and looks great too. It is not however good for hot beverages. The liner doesn't seem to hold up to them even though it was advertised as a hot and cold cup.

Bought two one was kinda subpar, exchanged it for another and got this one! Couldn't be happier, beautiful mug, very happy w it!They were very prompt, got it next day, very pleased with everything.

My boyfriends family is Nordic Viking decent and I thought this would be a neat gift cause he bought a large back strap horn and said it would be neat to be able to set it down without fearing it tipping over. This cup was the best find after that comment! Very well made and it will def be a conversation starter. Highly recommend

Go with the bigger size! Small barely fits 12oz. I got another one in a larger size and it's totally worth it

Not bad at all for the price. I used it as a mug for TRF. While I was working and it lasted quite a bit. The sealant on the bottom ended up giving out after a few weekends though.

First of all Amazon decided to pack this horn without any protection in a single box along with a weighted electrical item that I had also ordered at the same time, the fact that the horn arrived still intact while bouncing around the box with the other product speaks volumes to the care that the delivery driver had taken. Second, upon opening, reading the instructions, & inspecting my coffee horn, that should've been Double lacquered for hot beverages & that I planned to give as a gift to my boss, I did find a patch that was not lacquered at all on the outside near the handle. I was also surprised to find there was an area on the mug at that same location that was see through. Nonetheless I decided to follow the directions, properly cleaning the mug & patting it dry before first use then proceeded to test it against its first cup of coffee. I'm happy to report that there are no leaks as of yet though there was a string of audible creaking as it settled to temperature. I would give this five stars since it met it's bare minimum requirement of holding hot liquid as a drinking horn however due to the oversight of the patch where the horn was unlacquered & the see-through area I have to give this 4 stars at best.

Although there was an issue with my order, I feel there is justification for the 4 stars.- I ordered the drinking horn with the horizontal engraved rings. The product shipped and was received within the 2-day Prime window allowed.- The product arrived and the burlap bag had some of the logo and writing missing as it appears the logo was put on the bag when the bag was creased. The drinking horn that arrived was missing the engraved rings. :(- I emailed Daaxo Wares a.k.a. Norse Tradesman.- They responded about a day or so later in a pretty epic email. They kept the theme of Vikings in their tone and offered me two options. Option one was to return the drinking horn for a full refund. Option 2 was they would issue me a 50% refund if I wished to keep the tankard. I chose option 2 as the tankard was nice and I am handy, so I wanted to make some improvements to it.- The tankard did have a couple things wrong with it. There was a minor "V" shaped crack in the handle, which I remedied with a small drop of super glue then pressed it together. You can't even tell now and it is on the inside of the handle anyway. There was also a rough edge on the wooden bottom where it looked like they put a less than perfect wooden bottom on the tankard. This isn't a big deal though, as it does add character.- Another thing to note is that the polyurethane they used to seal the wood was rather strong smelling and would cloud up when the tankard contained water for an extended period of time. There was also a rather small amount of wax on the interior of the tankard and it should have been a bit heavier coating. My remedy for this was to take about 6 oz of pure beeswax, heat it in a stainless steel pan over the stove and repeatedly pour it in and out of the tankard to form a nice even coating inside the tankard. The beeswax achieved a nice healthy 1/16" coating or so inside the tankard. This not only added an attractive aroma to the inside of the tankard, it killed off the odor of the polyurethane and prevented any further cloudiness from holding water. The drinking horn now functions amazingly and no longer has the somewhat toxic smelling odor.- The photos were taken immediately after unpacking. After a washing with a very mild dish soap, the color was much better. Also, after adding the beeswax coating inside, the color also improved. In general, it is a really cool looking drinking horn. I am very pleased with it now, but will likely end up putting some sort of Viking stencil on it and engraving it with my Dremel.- I would also like to give customer support 5 stars for their willingness to work with me and for staying "in character" of a Viking throughout our back and forth support emails, to which I completely enjoyed. I also joined in with the same theme and it actually made the support process fun. In addition, the refund followed within minutes of their email stating they would issue the refund. Very impressive.- Overall, I am very pleased with this tankard. If anyone is considering buying one, I would only recommend picking up a half pound of pure beeswax first. You can usually get this at any earthy crunchy style store that sells organic and vegan oils, foods, deodorants, or alternative medicines. I bought a 13 oz brick for about $9 and used about 4 oz melted to pour in and out of the tankard. I disposed of the rest of the melted wax that was left over.

On the underside of the handle, right where you wrap your fingers around, the finish is very rough and stippled. Not pleasant at all, especially if there was the weight of an ale inside. In addition, the handle is cracked on one edge.Tried repeatedly to contact the seller through Amazon, with negative results to request a mug in the same color palette as advertised with the replacement.Nice looking, but nothing like the picture. Didn't realize the colors would be on the opposite side of the color spectrum from what was advertised. I've requested a replacement, I'll update with results.Replacement arrived swiftly. Finish is still not as nice as I would like for this price point and the colors are even less desirable than the first one. Will send back. Guess this is something that should be selected in person, if you have a specific wish in mind.

Original, forma difícil. Más para adorno

I ordered the polished version and it was in very good condition, with no odour at all. I chose the polished version owing to complaints of the unpolished version smelling.Given that horns are just dirty big lumps of the same stuff that our nails are made of, it makes sense to buy the buffed and polished version if you plan on using it to hold a beverage at times.

My son absolutely LOVED this!! I noticed there were a few Lil bumps on the outside and I could see light from one side of mug and I worry if the wooden part on bottom will stay, but like I said my son loves it. A bit costly I thought and I was under the impression that it was made legitimately in Norway, imagine my surprise when there was a "Made in India" sticker on it!! Not cool.😠

Although the jugs are quality I ordered two black coloured as a pair. As one is black and the other light brown could not have been more disappointed. Father and son pair for special occasions Will always carry a slight disappointment now. I wasn't expecting identical but I was expecting them to be both black. 😥

Bought as a gift but will definitely going to get for myself as it came in to amazing packaging and does look amazingAlso while you drinking mead you feel like viking
