Swordsmiths were craftsmen who specialised in the creation of swords and other bladed weapons. A swordsmith employed by a royal court was known as a Royal Swordsmith.
History
Gwen's father Tom was a skilled swordsmith as well as a blacksmith. It was he who forged the sword Excalibur, which he considered to be the finest sword he'd ever made (Excalibur).
The Swordsmiths of Gedref crafted a dagger that Agravaine gave to Arthur. When he discovered that the blade had become dulled during the journey, he asked Merlin to sharpen it (The Secret Sharer).
