Strength does not begin with us, and it should not end with us.
Yggdrasil rises across genuine buffalo horn, framed by carved knotwork and runic details. It carries a reminder that what stands tallest is fed by deep roots, tested by hardship and shaped to shelter what follows.
Complete with its own display stand, this commanding horn is made to mark weddings, milestone birthdays and the moments a family will remember long after the feast ends.
Add personal engraving and bind that story to one name.
Yggdrasil is not portrayed in Norse tradition as a tree untouched by hardship.
In Grímnismál, the great ash stands above three roots reaching in different directions. The gods travel there to sit in judgement, Ratatoskr carries words along its trunk, stags feed upon its branches and creatures gnaw at it from below.
Yet Yggdrasil remains at the heart of the Norse cosmos.
It endures pressure from every direction while continuing to connect what stands above, below and around it.
For this vessel, that history carries a modern message:
Know your roots. Carry their strength. Leave what follows stronger than what came before.
The carved tree follows the natural colour, curve and markings of every horn. No two carry Yggdrasil in precisely the same way, just as no two families carry precisely the same story.
Raise the Tree of Life Drinking Horn for the person who remembers where they came from and intends to build something worthy of those who follow.

Natural horn variation: The photographs show examples of the design and overall style, not the exact horn you will receive. Length, colour, grain, markings, shape, curvature, twist and exact capacity within the stated ranges will naturally vary. The Yggdrasil carving and overall product style will remain consistent, although minor handmade variations may occur.
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.

Bought as Xmas gift, my son will love this, it's a beautiful piece
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!

The drinking horns are really beautiful and carved with a great deal of detail! These are now my go to drinking horns now! I will be definitely purchasing again from Modern Viking in the future!
Cheesus Christ on a cracker- my little brother doesn’t get excited about much anymore as he’s married with 2 kids under 10- but this drinking horn made him VOICE CALL ME 😳 to thank me with a Vikings oration praising my name and extolling my virtues for a future trip to Valhalla. I'm not going to lie- it was a bit weird.
The drinking horn is awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻
The photo's don't do it justice, it's absolutely beautiful piece of craftsmanship, I was extremely impressed and my partner who's pressed it was, was ecstatic. It exceeded expectation!! Loved it
Speechless! I ordered these for our upcoming wedding and I am in awe of the craftsmanship. I love the details and authenticity of these horns. We can not wait to use them on our special day. Thank you for these beautiful pieces. I am looking forward to future orders!
Photos can't do this piece of art justice!!! Absolutely beautifully made and sp worth the wait to be hand carved. You can feel the love and dedication that went into making this drinking horn! Skål!!
Absolutely brilliant work, it's a Christmas present for my brother who's already see it and he can't wait to get it, he thinks it's amazing, the best present he's got!!!
Been hiding it from hubby for a few months, gave it to him for Hanukkah today and he loves it! Amazing craftsmanship and quality! Also gave him the vegvisir cuff which he's also wearing in the pic 😊
