weaponsmith
Crafts swords professionally
A weaponsmith is a craftsman who forges weapons—swords, axes, spears, and similar arms.
The term appears most often in fantasy fiction and video games, where weaponsmiths sell or upgrade equipment: I need to find a weaponsmith to repair my blade.
In historical contexts, the work overlapped with blacksmithing and armoring.
