Blacksmithing is a traditional craft in which a blacksmith heats metal, usually iron or steel, and shapes it with hammer blows on an anvil. Using this ancient technique, they create tools, horseshoes, hardware, knives, artistic objects, and even sculptures. A blacksmith needs well-developed skills, strength, and precision, as the work involves mastering fire, temperature, and the properties of metal.In Slovenia, blacksmithing has a long history connected to mining and ironworking, especially in areas like Kropa, Železniki, and Ravne na Koroškem. Today, the craft is less common, but it is still preserved by artistic blacksmiths, museums, and ethnographic events. Besides Krmelj, there is only one other blacksmith in Slovenia that produces practical (cutting) tools.
