Blacksmith vs Bladesmith vs Farrier

Blacksmith:
• General metal worker
• Makes tools, hardware, gates, and decorative work

Bladesmith:
• Specializes in knives, swords, and cutting tools
• Focuses heavily on heat treatment and edge geometry

Farrier:
• Specializes in horseshoes and hoof care
• Combines blacksmithing skills with knowledge of animal anatomy

All three work with hot metal, but their focus and skills are different.
