swedish army kuksa

[Mimung]

I snapped up a bunch of those a few years ago. My favourite cups.

But there are two different kinds. I "believe" that the one you've shown is the older model. The newer (and I "believe" they are) model has a much flatter bottom. The one you've shown has very little of the bottom that actually makes contact with a surface, making it very tippy. The newer ones are also a softer plastic, and a slightly lighter shade of OD.

The one to the right is army issue. /Mimung

Hi everyone! I had a look around but the place where they normaly sell them quite cheap (the previously mentioned Ö&B) did not have any at this time. Sorry...

Ok. I assumed that the one to the left was not military issue. I looks like the one I´ve got from Haglöfs with another hole in the handle. I´ve never seen one with three crowns and that kind of hole in the handle, only models with a round hole. At first I thought you could see the three crowns in the picture on the left one. /Mimung

Oops.. I didn´t see it was several pictures! Sorry...

http://www.bbfab.se: I almost forgott about these guys.. They actually have quite a selection and are quite good to deal with. Do not know how they are against overseas clients, but it is wourth a try.

bbab is quite hopeless to deal with IMHO. www.getout.se sells new kuksas for less (10 SEK= 66 p) and in bulk. Better get a group buy from them. I'm amazed that you can't find them in the UK, since you've got the foldables, you should be able to find the ordinary, usually the same brand, and both are used for promotion. I got a free blue one when I bought two packets of flat bread at the supermarket the other day.

edit: directlink to getout: http://www.getout.se/v2/index.asp?item=1903 ,change color with the scroll menu. 10 for 90 SEK, roughly £6.50.
