Blacksmith forging an elven sword at the sea #160253224
Description
The blacksmith Panagiotis Saltzis Kavalieratos forged an elven sword for his wife. The fire was lit next to the sea at a rocky beach. The strong winds gave power to the flames and the iron could light up and become red hot and glowing. The salty water quenched it and created a strong and flexible steel. The beautiful spiral patterns and metalwork can be seen in the image.
