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

I was skeptical of the price but it's high quality. Bought it for a personalized gift. I'm completely satisfied.

I was pleasantly surprised at how tall the mug was, and that it wasn't evident or I didn't notice how the horn was capped at the bottom with wood engraved with the markers mark. The engraving on the mug, albeit well done and complete and correct, was smaller than the advertised graphic taking up nearly the entirety of the mug, rather positioned and engraved in the upper majority of the mugs vertical length, which may be associated with my first comment that the mug being taller and the graphics scaled down to fix the girth of the container. The alternative would be to center the graphics vertically. Overall, the quality, functionality, workmanship, and esthetically presentation was worth the asking price. More feedback will ensue following the giftee's comments.

First off, I did not receive a discount or a free mug to write this review. I ordered 4 different horn mugs from 4 different vendors to see which was best. My roommates, my son and I are doing a Viking theme living room and I'm in charge of the drinking vessels. All the horns were cool but this one stood out. It is delivered in a nice box with very good bubble wrap making it come in perfect condition. The inner bag is cool and rustic and would make a great gift. When I opened it, it was everything i hoped for, big, sturdy, and awesome looking. There was almost no smell and it was very well lacquered inside and out. I couldn't wait to use it!! I poured my 3 12oz ales in and they all fit perfectly!! I was impressed to say the least. It was easy to drink from and got lots and lots of complaints from friends that came over. I will be ordering many more horn mugs from this company. If you are looking for quality at a great price look to further!! I have to say again I paid full price for my mug and couldn't be more happy!!---update. My first mug did have a leak but the company took care of it and made it right! The follow up and customer service from this company is remarkable! I have ordered a total of 3 mugs now and love them all. They are all different and beautiful in their own ways. This is the place to order your horn mugs! I can't say enough about this company and the customer service!!!

We were very pleased with our order! We had accidentally received the wrong size mug. With one or two simple messages between the seller, we were able to get it corrected! The customer service is 10/10 at this company. :)

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.

This is a unique gift, my son really loved it. I would love to get different types as a set for my son.

Purchased The Mjolnir mug for my husband, beautiful design and good product. I was provided with excellent customer service and highly recommend this seller and their wares! As some reviews mention, there can be a very slight 'smell' but this is **natural to the materials being used**, and after some use faded to nothing. (We did use the lemon wash, which helped, but a bit of time seemed to be the key). This is an item to be treated with care, gentle washing, proper storage etc - would not recommend for taking out and about, camping etc - there are better items for those uses. However it's just perfect for enjoying ale etc around the house. Some people seem to be quite picky in their reviews on this product - I would like to point out it is made out of natural materials, and given that, it will have natural imperfections or maybe slight issues here and there. When was the last time you tried to make a mug out of a horn? We are used to our things being made out of modern materials and expecting pristine perfection is just not natural to the nature of this item, or even it's 'spirit'. Proper care and contact with seller will resolve this.

It's very pretty, haven't used it yet. I plan on taking it to the Renaissance festival. It's smaller which is ok.

Pretty nice , looks sturdy , strong wood bottom , fits 2 cups as described ( maybe few ml less but not much ) . Down side, the handle is smaller than I thought , big hands don’t fit easily, but still very cool .

Product is great! Ergonomic shape, perfect size, light weight and decent look. Loving it. However the link to the extended warranty for amazon customers is not available.

Great craftsmanship and such a cool item to have. It certainly makes you feel like a viking. No leaks whatsoever, holds about 650ml which is more than expected but each is different. I saw other peoples pictures that showed the polished versions as a darker colour with white writing and was pleased to see mine was the same (unlike the picture amazon has that shows blue writing, perhaps they need to update their product picture). 1 year warranty as well with these.

Me ha encantado.

This is the second time purchasing from this company. The first one I got was a drinking horn, and it’s been over a year of use and it’s still in perfect condition. It makes for a great talking piece and everyone seems to want one of their own! I’m happy to say my second purchase brings equal enjoyment and satisfaction in their product. This one is a gift for my brother, and as we’re Norwegian decendants I thought it would be an excellent choice for a gift. I also LOVE that they ethically source their horns and don’t harm any animals. The horns are harvested after these animals are deceased (for whatever matter that might be). Please read their site for full details on how they ethically source the horns as my description doesn’t explain it fully. They also have fantastic customer service and want to make sure you are 100% satisfied with their product.
