armorsmith

Defensive gear crafter

An armorsmith is a craftsman who makes armor—the protective metal coverings worn by soldiers and knights.

The term appears most often in fantasy games and historical fiction, where armorsmiths forge shields, helmets, and plate mail: I took the damaged breastplate to the armorsmith for repair.
