Back to the primitive

Anssi Routavirta. Finland. Bugger who earns his living by pretending to be a hard working blacksmith in a village called Korpilahti at Frost Ferrum Forge. While not striking iron on an anvil I spend my time torturing my vocal cords in Deathkin. IG : @ routavirta shop: www. etsy . com /shop /frostferrumforge

Fullblown fantasy mode activated. WIP pictures of a therapy project that I've been slowly crafting from time to time. Beaten up and antiqued weapon pair of an imaginary desert nomad tribe/culture with only leather and metal to work with...slowly getting to the finish line 😅 #frostferrumforge #takomoroutarauta #blacksmith #blade #sword #buckler #fantasy #bladesmithing #nerdiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CWiprhYISdz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Aaaaand that is a wrap. Off to packaging all of these steel nuggets and send them travelling to their new owners across the globe.

"Noctua" is finally finished. Really happy how this sword turned out. I wanted it to have an ancient relic feel to it so great care was taken to weather the whole thing down with oxidation and acid work while maintainig functionality. Full metal construct but surprisingly "flowy" in hand. I'll be putting this one up for sale to my etsy shop in the coming days so this bastard is looking for a new and loving home #Noctua #Xiphos #leafblade #sword #blacksmith #frostferrumforge #takomoroutarauta #bladesmith #blade #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CVniHzrou58/?utm_medium=tumblr

It seems that there is a theme and a path emerging every year with commissions when ever we are drawing closer towards the season of slumber and death. #frostferrumforge #takomoroutarauta #blacksmith #invertedcross #raven #Azazel #scapegoat https://www.instagram.com/p/CVOGmJUI93H/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some more pendants freshly spawned from the forge ready to be shipped to their new owners across the high seas.

Finally managed to finish this Bhuj inspired "axe-knife" between commissions. Tweaked out the handle with some more leatherwork and added some horsehair swag on it to give it a more nomad/hunnic feel. I'll be putting this piece up for sale in my etsy shop (etsy.com/shop/frostferrumforge) today so anyone who would like to give it a new home can head up there or give me a holler via DM here. Thanks for the support and off to new adventures! #frostferrumforge #takomoroutarauta #blacksmith #forging #bhuj #axeknife #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CQODwI4Jfj6/?utm_medium=tumblr
