Although some would use the term "sword smith", most would simply be called swordmakers. Some use the term cutler, as a craftsman who makes the hilt or handle of a bladed object. However in the medieval era, Cutlers usually referred to the craftsmen who made knives, not swords.

Blacksmiths generally did not make swords; the secrets of making swordblades - particularly in the tempering of the blade once forged - were jealously guarded by guilds of blade-makers. The blacksmiths' trade was much more for iron-working for farms and building, than weapons.
