📯 CHOOSE YOUR STYLE:

  • Howler - 12" - A compact 12-inch Viking war horn, stands distinct among its larger counterparts with its intricately engraved dual wolves, symbolizing cunning and teamwork in Norse mythology. Howler, though smaller, delivers a sharp, clear call that resonates with precision. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate both artistry and function in a more manageable size.
  • Battleseer - 18" - This version is flame treated (which provides the rich brown color) and hand engraved with the Elder Futhark runes ᚦᚱᛟᛏᚱ ᚨ ᛞᛟᛚᚷᚱ /próttr á dolgr. This roughly translates to “Strength in Battle”. Makes for a gorgeous display piece. 
  • Doomsinger - 28" - This beastly version measures roughly 28" (70 cm) in length and features an unadorned, beautifully polished surface. The Doomsinger provides the deepest sounding call out of the three available options. Its resonant sound echoes the vastness of the Nordic landscapes, making it a symbol of raw power and majesty.

📯 ARTFUL DESIGN - Norse Tradesman's battle horn is exquisitely crafted in astounding detail. Each is flame treated and hand engraved with Norse runes. For LARP and Renaissance attire to historical collectors, this piece is breathtaking. XL version XXL version is not engraved.

📯 INCLUDES: Heavy duty genuine leather shoulder strap (already attached). The Howler and Battleseer also includes a burlap carrying sack. The Doomsinger does not (they don't make sacks that big!)

Great sound

Ordered this for our "tribe" we have with a Y program to use a tribe call, and it works great! Love the detail and the sound, and the pamphlet included made it easy to learn how to use.

The horns look good and sound great

The War Horns Both the 18" and 28" look great and sound great. The mouth side of the horn is smaller than a Trombone mouthpiece and larger than a Trumpet. I did Dremel mine out larger to be closer to a Trombone size as that is what I'm accustomed to. I also spent time treating and sealing the inside of the horn with a 2 part pourable epoxy. I do wish these came sealed, not so much because of the smell but because it will just continue to build-up bacteria if used often without a good seal. Overall I am very happy with the appearance and sound of the horns. Thanks.
