While blacksmiths work mostly with hot metal, whitesmiths do the majority of their work on cold metal (although they might use a <a href="/words/forge">forge</a> to shape their raw materials).<br /><br />The term is also applied to metalworkers who do only finishing work - such as filing or polishing - on <a href="/words/iron">iron</a> and other "black" metals.
