did blacksmiths make weapons except knives??

Answer 1

The blacksmith made a multitude of things, especially weapons - and armor - in history. Here's an excerpt from
http://www.villagesmith.com.au/html/history.htm

Through the ages iron, and so the blacksmith, continued as the key to civilization. The blacksmith made by hand, one at a time, the thousands of metal objects that made up the equipment of life. Farmers, other craftsmen, householders, merchants and armies depended on him for nails, hammers, chisels, axes, sickles, wedges, hinges, door latches, hooks, cranes and andirons for fireplaces, cooking utensils, pots and kettles, wagon wheels and parts, harness hardware, shoes for horses and oxen, chain, armor and weapons. When any such item broke, it was the blacksmith who repaired it. All the while he made and maintained his own shop tools - anvils, hammers, tongs, swages and all the special tools invented for specific jobs.

In the link above, there's a short history of the blacksmith.
