Viking Drinking Horn with Stand - Unique Gifts for Men, Large 15-20 Oz Natural Ox Horn | Cool Unique Beer Gift for Brother or Dad, Home Decor Accessories | Medieval Stein for Ale, Mead, Whiskey

I recently decided to go all out embracing my Viking heritage (my grandmother is full Scandinavian) and have studied the myths and lore of the Gods, read and learned their runes, am in the process of learning the old language and have purchased a few things here and there, including a Ægishjálmr rune necklace my wife got me, and one other drinking horn.Let me just simply say this horn is epic.While each one will be slightly different in size and color, the one I received is almost completely jet black, standing about 15" tall while in its stand and 13 1/2" from tip to tip.The brass lip seems sturdy and well fitted, as well as it is stable in its stand evem while filled all the way to the brim.Mine holds one swig away from 2 full 12oz cans if you are holding it upright and 1 1/2 if it is in it's stand (since it leans a little bit.)It does have only the faintest hint of an animal smell to it, but that wears off with time - or you could put it in a large ziplock with a bunch of baking soda to help speed up the process. Avoid vinegar as some people suggest as vinegar will break down bone (and as such, the horn) and can cause leaks.)My only issue is that (the one I recieved anyway) came with the tiniest bubbles in the lacquer on the inside, but this isn't something to get all worked up over.All in all this is a great product for a hell of a price! A must have for the modern Viking!

Many people complained about a foul odor. Mine arrived with no bad odor at all, and i drank my first beer after having only rinsed it out. I did notice a slightly unpleasant odor come on as I continued to use it, but it was never terrible. One must understand that horns are natural, and as with all natural products, there will always be variations in color, size and too, aroma.Workmanship was fairly good. I read where some complained about the metallic rim was loose. Mine was seated pretty well, and does not seem that it will come off soon. The stand was also OK. It can tip over very easily, though.Claims to hold 20 oz. I doubt that. I will have to measure how much it will hold and will come back. My 16oz beer in the photo foamed up too much and I had to drink a little before pouring the rest.All told, for the price, i have no complaints. Also for the price, I think it will be normal to get horns with the problems mentioned above, and in previous reviews, but ***it seems*** that the company is willing to stand behind their product and replace it if it stinks, or arrives broken, etc. For my part, I do not have to try.Drink up and Skål!*although... im not Scandinavian, and drinking horns were also popular in Germany, so Prost!!

This drinking horn is great. Very well made, stand is sturdy and great for display. I loved the gray/black color of the horn I received. I gave this to a friend for a secret santa get together and he loved it so much he began to drink out of it instantly and for the rest of the night. The recurring negative comments center around the uneven brass circle around the horn's opening as well as the smell of the horn. I'd like to address both of these as I see no merit in these critiques. First, the brass ring cannot be perfectly circular as ox horns do not grow perfectly circular. The ring is adjusted to fit the horn's natural shape. I prefer the original material to be tampered with and altered as little as possible so this wasn't an issue for me. Next and most importantly, the smell. Yes, the horn smelled pretty rank when I received it. What do you expect? It was part of a living organism at one point. Using dish detergent and cold water, I washed and rinsed the horn several times, then set it near an open window overnight. The smell almost completely disappeared and I expect after several uses it will diminish entirely. This is a great product, perfect for a gift or a display piece and I will most likely be ordering another for myself in the near future.

This item comes in this nice pouch when you pull it out you see this absolutely Stunning stand and drinking item! When given to someone from experience their face will light up. This item is a great value as well as beautiful weather you use it or display it. Absolutely recommend so fun so far 0 leaking. Love it! Thanks

This Horn is so beautiful, I definitely recommend buying one.After browsing drinking horns from different makers, I felt the Thor Horn was the best; quality, customer service, and price wise. Mine stands at 13 inches.I bought this as a gift, early enough in case there were any issues, and there were none, at least none that required a return. The reviews had me concerned about a horrible smell, hence me buying so early before Christmas, but the horn I received has no noticeable smell, the bag however, has a very strong earthy scent, it absolutely did not come from the horn itself; unless it was somehow completely transferred from horn to bag? So I aired it out for a week and the smell is gone.As these are handmade, there are a couple of tiny flaws. In one picture I show the inside of the horn, aside from the dust, to the left there are a series of small nicks, which I don't believe will not cause any issues if being used to drink from. The other picture shows two whitish inch-long lines, where it either missed getting polished, or something struck it and scraped the polish off. It is not visible if the horn is in the stand. Also, the stand doesn't really match the horn, but I'm fine with that.I'm highly tempted to buy one for myself as a display piece, it's definitely unique as no two are the same.
