weaponsmiths

Forge combat tools

Weaponsmiths are craftspeople who make weapons—swords, axes, spears, and other arms.

The term appears most often in fantasy fiction and video games, where weaponsmiths forge or sell armaments: The weaponsmith upgraded my blade for fifty gold.

In historical contexts, the work was typically divided among specialized trades: bladesmiths, armorers, bowyers.
