Important Note About Natural Horn Products
Authentic Viking Drinking Horns are Made from Natural Horn
Our Viking drinking horns are crafted from authentic natural horn - the same material Vikings used over a thousand years ago. Like genuine leather, natural horn is an organic material that may occasionally have a natural scent, especially when new or in humid conditions.
What to Expect:
- Natural horn may have a mild organic smell when first received (similar to leather products)
- The scent typically diminishes with use and proper care
- This is a normal characteristic of authentic horn, not a defect
- Proper cleaning and airing will minimize any natural odor
- The natural properties are what make each horn unique and authentic
Care Instructions:
- Rinse with cool water before first use
- Hand wash only with mild soap
- Air dry completely after each use
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Avoid dishwashers and hot water
- The natural patina that develops adds character
Just as genuine leather products develop character over time, natural horn drinking horns become more beautiful with use and proper care.
