Medieval gourd canteen, Stainless Steel covered in leather, Viking LARP/Cosplay

Description

Medieval gourd canteen, Stainless Steel covered in leather, Viking LARP/Cosplay. Condition is "New". I was looking for the perfect canteen to go with my Viking garb but had no success...Leather flasks are lined with bees wax..The wax cracks if the leather flask is dropped or melts if hot liquid is used or if it gets left in a car on a sunny day ....Natural Gourd makes the water taste bitter and can crack if dropped or treated roughly...Both leak if not kept upright. I decided to go with a modern solution and make it look (somewhat)historically accurate. I found a stainless steel 64oz flask shaped like a gourd so I bought it, covered it in veggie tanned leather, added jute cord, a cork with a antler burr handle, leather carrying straps, viking brass bling and VIOLA! My (somewhat)Historically accurate water gourd was born!...
