Give them the Viking gift they will want to unwrap, raise and show off.
Made from genuine buffalo horn with a bold Valknut design, this drinking horn comes with its own natural horn stand and can be personalised just for them. Every horn has its own colour, grain and curve, making their gift genuinely unique.
The Valknut is formed from three interlocked triangles and is one of the most recognisable symbols connected with the Viking world. It is commonly associated with Odin, although its exact original meaning remains a mystery.
That mystery is part of what makes the Valknut so captivating. It carries the unmistakable look of Norse legend without forcing one dark meaning onto the person receiving it. Here, the symbol gives the horn a bold centrepiece and a story worth sharing whenever it is raised.
The vessel itself makes the gift even more impressive. Every Valknut Drinking Horn is made from genuine buffalo horn, with natural colour, grain, markings and curves that cannot be recreated by factory made drinkware. One horn may arrive deep and dark, another may carry warm honey tones, while others reveal striking natural patterns through the surface.
The Valknut design appears differently against every piece of horn, making each vessel feel genuinely personal before engraving is even added.
That is what makes this such an exciting gift to unwrap. They are not receiving another ordinary cup that disappears into the cupboard. They are receiving a genuine horn made to be raised with friends, displayed proudly on its natural horn stand and shown off whenever the occasion calls for something unforgettable.
Add their personal engraving and it becomes unmistakably theirs. A bold Viking gift with real character, a powerful presence and no second piece exactly like it.
Every Viking Warrior Drinking Horn begins with genuine buffalo horn. The material sets the colour, grain, markings, curve and shape, giving the finished vessel a character factory moulded drinkware cannot copy.

No two Valknut Drinking Horns are the same. The photographs show the design and overall style, while colour, grain, markings, length, capacity, curve, twist and stand will naturally vary. The Valknut design remains consistent. Everything nature created around it makes the horn they receive genuinely their own.
No two natural horns are ever the same. Yours carries its own colour, curve and character. With the right care, it can become more than a drinking vessel. It can become part of your story.
💧 Before the first feast
Gently wash your horn by hand using lukewarm water, mild dish soap and a soft cloth.
🫧 Clean after every use
Empty and rinse your horn promptly after drinking. Do not leave beverages sitting inside for extended periods.
🚫 Never soak or use the dishwasher
Never soak your horn or place it in the dishwasher. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges and vigorous scrubbing.
❄️ Keep it cold
Use only with cold alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Do not use with hot liquids.
💨 Dry completely
Wipe your horn with a soft cloth, then allow it to air dry completely before storing. Never store it while damp.
🛡️ Protect the finish
Store it in a cool, dry place away from strong heat and prolonged direct sunlight. Do not apply oils, waxes or polishes unless Modern Viking recommends them for that specific product.
Care for it well, and your horn can remain ready for feasts across generations. More than a drinking vessel, it can become a piece of your story worth passing down.

I got this for my Godsons 21st birthday he loved it and used it all night for the birthday toast, into the early morning party!
Love, love, love Modern Viking... I have already bought all the men's Christmas presents this year - first time ever they were the easiest gifts (even easier than the grandchildren!!)
The pizza cutter is solid! it is much heavier than I imagined it would be, definitely a winner gift for the man who has everything - even if they already have a pizza cutter!
The handle feels good, 1.1 KG
The handle is only 1-2 cm shy of the Raven, so no real difference in length.
The Oathkeeper is very nice, I added some bees wax to the handle and it's better, the wood laser is still fresh and probably needs a coat of something.
While the Raven has a bigger head, the Oathkeeper balance is right behind the thumb rest!
This is why I prefer the OathKeeper over the Raven, regardless of the email I received, saying they are 2 different Axes.
Bought the Tree of Life heon fory daughter, she wants the strappy holder now. She loves it and said "I think I'm gonna end up being the drinking horn girl at parties." Super quick turn around and a beautiful, unique gift.
Brodie absolutely loved his pizza and meat cutter for his 40th birthday! It's such a great keepsake and we love that it's not just something to look at but something he can actually use too. A really great gift!
Love the pizza cutter! What a statement piece! The quality is amazing. The communication and consideration from the Modern Viking team was second to none
I bought 1 for a Christmas present, but when it arrived....I said nope that won't do...I need 2. One for each son/ son inlaw. So I bought another the same day. Showed it off to my work mates and now they all want one too!
My sons absolutely loved them, they were very impressed with workmanship and Quality, just as I was impressed.
I have to get some more now for my Son In Law or I will never hear the end if it from my Daughter.
All the products I’ve purchased have been of exceptional quality and craftsmanship is great. Love the curved horn so good I keep playing Ragnar speech “ soon I’ll drink from curved horns” and annoying the mrs lol.
Purchased a drinking horn for my son. Absolutely love it. A beautiful piece. Very unique. Hopped back on the site to purchase a couple of extra pieces to go with it. Highly recommend. Thank you :)
I brought this for my son for Christmas as he's said for a couple of years he'd love a viking drinking horn. I received it today and I love it so he's going to lose his mind over it. Love the colour and detail in the carvings.
I bought the Valknut drinking horn for a colleague's retirement. He absolutely loved it and appreciated such a unique and thoughtful gift. He had a celebratory drink from it that night! The horn was exactly how I pictured it. A beautiful piece of work. Thank you!

This Drinking Horn is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!! The craftsmanship is INCREDIBLE!!!! THANK YOU !!!! I bought it for my son..As soon as I saw it, I knew it belonged to him!! I bought it just because he is an awesome son( 27years old ), and I just wanted him to know that I appreciate him.. I couldn’t have done it in a better way!!! THANK YOU !!!!!
This is the second order I placed. First was for a friend, then decided I want one also. They're really something that makes you go "oooooooo" when you first pull them out of their bag. Very much recommended for anyone into Viking culture!
There was a mix-up with the postal service, and one of these was lost. So the amazing people at modern viking carved us a new one. They both showed 6 hubby couldn't choose which one to part with, so we paid for both. The modern viking team was amazing through the crazy process of the postal service losing it. It has restored my faith in online ordering. The horns are incredible, as you can see. Sorry, the video cut off some of the pictures. Skol
