<upd_detl>Just edited the entry for 打物.  The daijs entry for 打物師 actually says nothing about weapons. Not only that, but swordsmith implies swords, and 打物[1] is *any* metal weapon.  I'm not sure if there is an (esp. of weapons) sense here or not.  
daijs: 金属を打って器物を作る職人。

Seems like an 打ち物師 is anyone who hammers metal into stuff. Doesn't have to be a blacksmith (iron).  Could be a coppersmith, goldsmith, etc.  It's someone who makes uchimono.　　The last ref. is someone who works with brass and copper (not a blacksmith, not a swordsmith).</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalsmith
A metalsmith or simply smith is a craftsperson fashioning useful items (for example, tools, kitchenware, tableware, jewelry, armor and weapons) out of various metals.[1] Smithing is one of the oldest metalworking occupations. Shaping metal with a hammer (forging) is the archetypical component of smithing.

打物ってかいて、“うちもの”って呼びます。なんかボールを打つみたいですが、真鍮や銅の板を叩いて菊灯や、灯籠を作る職人を打物師といいますねん。</upd_refs>
