Blacksmith is the skill of forging, shaping, and repairing metal goods through the use of heat, tools, and technique. It encompasses the creation of weapons, armour, tools, and fittings, as well as the maintenance and modification of existing metalwork.

A skilled blacksmith understands different metals and alloys, knowing how heat, folding, and tempering affect strength and durability. Proper use of this skill allows for the production of reliable, well-balanced equipment and the restoration of damaged or worn items.

Blacksmithing requires physical strength, precision, and patience. It is a foundational craft in most societies, supporting warfare, trade, and daily life, and skilled blacksmiths are often highly valued within their communities.
