Überleben | Kanu Wooden Camping Spoon – Handcarved Nordic Utensil with Lanyard & Carabiner – Lightweight Reusable Survival Tool & Camping Essentials Bushcraft Gear

So far, so good. The cup itself is well made but a little on the rough side. No chips or cracks. It looks like oak but is a foreign fine grained hardwood. About what I expected for the price. Decent quality but not really finished. Mine holds about 7 drinkable ounces. 8 ounces filled to the brim. First thing I did was remove the cheap hard leather thong. I may replace it if needed, with a soft leather thong. The finger holes were really rough inside and with sharp edges. I used a knife to chamfer the sharp edges. Then I used 320 sandpaper and smoothed the inside of the holes, the inside of the cup and just a little on the outside to break all the sharp edges. Then I used the oven method to seal with oil. bring your oven to 175 degrees, Warm up the cup for 3 minutes, wipe the cup with a heavy coat of Food grade mineral oil. then put back in the oven for 3 minutes again. Then take a paper towel and wipe off as much oil as possible. The rest of the oil will soak in as the cup cools. Retreat every few months as needed. The mineral oil is what id used on cutting boards and will not go rancid like the vegetable oils can. You get a beautiful wooden cup that will last a lifetime if you take care of it.

Bought these as Christmas presents and have no idea what the recipients think of them because it’s Christmas Eve today and they’ll open them tomorrow. What I can honestly say from here is that the size and quality and ergonomics feel right and I plan on ordering one for myself. If you’re one to drink tomato soup or chili straight out or a cup then these are for you! The horizontal handle is great for campfire coffee as well as it gives a more serious purchase on the body of the cup than a standard teacup ear with a small hole in it. You won’t go pinkie up with these. My lone gripe is that it won’t quite hold 12 ounces, so a standard soda or beer won’t quite squeeze into these. But that’s trivial. These are an awesome piece of kit for outdoor adventures or for Sunday more inf coffee with a good book. Just be sure to get some mineral oil and treat these as you should treat any other wooden kitchen implement you may own.

My husband loves this spoon and keeps it with his jet-boil™ for solo treks and backpacking. He feels like a real Nordic man using it! haha

I bought this as a gift and while the cup is really nicely made, the handle feels way too short to use as a coffee cup. In order to get a good grip on the cup you have to grip the bottom of the cup and not the handle. I bought the larger one because the smaller ones said they only hold about 6 ounces of coffee. If I had to order again, I would purchase the cup with finger holes. However the person I bought it for said they like it and have already used it.

Besides looking beautiful, the color, grain and craftsmanship is excellent. Lightweight sturdy. I find the size of this cup to be perfect, can't imagine using anything smaller. I thought maybe the lip of the kuksa might be a little too thick but turns out not to be the case. The handle supports my hand comfortably. The wood does a great job of insolating your hands from most of the heat of your beverage which is a major complaint I have when trying to drink out of metal cups. I initially rinsed the kuksa out with a little soap and water, poured in hot tea, no funny taste from the wood or varnish. I did change a couple of things on this kuksa: I used a fine grain sand paper to take a tiny bit of the edge off the inside of the bowl, then I replaced the nylon strap with a leather one which I did for purely for esthetic reasons.

To start with, these are in fact made in China. It is in very tiny print by the UPC label. The only one of all in this "series" whose origin remains questionable, is the stainless steel pot. It doesn't say "Made in China" anywhere that I could find, but, nor did it say, "Made in USA". I would have really preferred this cup be made in the US (or Canada), or some country with labor laws, BUT this is a REALLY nice cup. There is nothing cheap about it. It would make a great and thoughtful gift. It is light to carry, the finish is fine, it feels great in one's hands, and although I can't explain how or why, stuff seems to taste better from it. I don't know if it's some sort of primal throw back, but it feels like it belongs in a hand. It feels good as your lips meet the wood. It's satisfying. I have it hanging on one of the kitchen cabinet pulls because it has a neat little leather lanyard thing on it and it looks good. So, I truly do love my wooden mug no matter where it came from. And I mentally thank the Chinese person who made it.

Nothing quite says your serious about this whole camping thing and are ready at any moment to move out to the woods permanently than a kuksa. I’m in LOVE. Wood is a poor conductor of heat and therefore a great camp coffee cup! I’m going to get my wood burning kit out soon so no one gets their kuksa mixed up with my kuksa! Now that I've used it for 5 months at home as well as at camp, I can definitively give it my glampstamp of approval. I haven't been mindful to wash it right away. Nor have I been diligent about giving it a nice wipe with any type of food oil and it doesn't leak. I use it mainly for coffee but I've also used it for water and once as a bowl for mini hotcakes, baked fruit and hot syrup. So glamptastic! I get asked about the lines on the handle that add up to "12". I think it's referring to the 12 ounces ( a real portion!) this kuksa holds but I make up a different reply each time. Last time it was, "That's the number of people I used to know who spoke to me before I had my coffee".

The Lore Kuksa is great. I know I will use it a lot. I originally thought that the cup was made there in ID or nearby but I see it is made in China. This is ok. It is a great cup. I have a number of items from Uberleden - all is well used by me.

Very expensive for something made in China

Had to have it and it was worth the money. Beautifully made. I will be ordering another for my wife.

Great little spoon. Very smooth, ergonomic and well made. Will enjoy using on expeditions as is light weight too.

Cup was exactly as advertised and arrived in perfect condition, we bougt 3 and each one had its own uniqueness to it with a rustic and refined style, thev cup holds a generous amount of coffee or tea and is the perfect size to cook 2 packs of oatmeal, also used it for ramen and stew, came pre treated but you will need to apply a light coating of cutting board oil with repeated use (normal for using wooden bowls and cups.) All in all great product and made in the USA.
