100 limited Ku-Bar Mugs that will be available at Tiki Oasis this year
and Here it is The Ku-Bar Mug!!!


Well,Me and fellow TCer MaiTai were chillin one night at FI talking about the Ku-bar Sculpt
And he Said It would be krazy Cool If we can get the Ku-Bar Mug to smoke out of the Eyes using dry Ice !!
I said, What a Great Idea!!! I'm glad I thought of that!!
Well, This is one of the most difficult Mugs for me to make because of the hollow chamber thats needed for dry ice, But it had to have it smoke out of its Eye's, there's no other Way!!
Thanks MaiTai!!!

The question is why dont you cold paint a little pic of yourself serving drinks out of it in the mugs "mouth" so you could make it 100% authentic ?

:)

Great idea for a mug and it really came out awesome. Great work Notch!

Smoke gets in your eyes...

:D Boooyah! :D

That's so cool. Can we pre-order/pay and pick em up at TO? Or is it strictly first come first served, just like at the real KuBar? And I'm wondering what the asking price is gonna be?

That's one great looking mug. I love the dry ice pockets, and the sculpt looks killer! Definitely going to try and get my hands on one.

Notch that big boy is bad ass man,
congrats, and great idea on the dry ice areas(Mai Tai)
sooo cool.
I hope I got extra money to get one at Oasis.

Bad Ass Notch! Totally killer.
If you carved yourself inside Ku-bar holding a Ku-bar
it would go on into infinity Notch Ku-bars.

Smokin'!!!!!! Great engineering of the dry ice pocket.

If I had a Ku-Bar, I'd have to get me a Ka-Bar to help defend it against jealous thieves

Nacho! - c ya there - Hopefully I can get my paws on one - on site!

Cya

Notcho,

That's fucking cool!!!

Does it come with a dude with a back pack full of cans

being almost crushed under it?? lol!!

Need one bad!!!

GREAT mug, man! How cool with that smoke! Way to go.....

The mug looks awesome, Notch!!! Can't wait to see it up close and personal, especially with the dry ice smoke pourin' out of the eyes!

Yeah, he's not joking. My suggestion kind of opened a whole can of worms! You can't just make one single mold that forms the outside, plus an additional inside with the hollow chamber for the dry ice, all at once. And if you did, it would be virtually impossible to remove the freshly poured ceramic greenware from that mold without destroying it! Notch had to get creative, but that's kind of his middle name anyways. But now he's like the Leonardo da Vinci of mold making!

This has to be my all-time favorite new mug design in the last few years, if of all time! Maybe it means so much to me because I've helped lug the real KuBar all over the frikkin' place! :D Make sure to put one or two aside for me, my brotha!

You got a mini trailer to haul that bad boy down to Oasis?

Congrats on the new mug Notcho!!

M

Fantastic mug!!! Every time I think, "no I can't afford TO this year", I see something else that tells me I really should go...this mug says I MUST go!

B

Hell YEAH NOTCH!! There couldn't have been a more perfect subject matter for your next home run!

I can't wait to take a look at him at Oasis. BRAVO!

Notch- The mug looks great! Hopefully, I will be able to get one at Tiki Oasis. It was nice meeting you at Frankie's!

Coolest mug ever. And Nacho's made some dog gone good 'uns. Not a ground rule double. Not a homer. I've seen it with me own eyes and the eyes say slam to the grand!

Too Slick!!!!

Very cool. It's always fun watching that giant bar being carted into the courtyard...and now we will have our very own to take home!

That is so sick!

WOW! i love it! i gotta have one. even though i don't drink, i love da ku bar. it always makes me smile when i see it.
