Blacksmiths (Skyrim)

Blacksmiths can be found in almost every city and town in Skyrim. Blacksmiths serve as merchants that specialize in weapons and armor. They also sell ores, ingots, leather, and leather strips (which are essential for smithing) as well as some miscellaneous items like lockpicks.

Between 8 am and 8 pm they can usually be found near the town or city's smithing stations, either standing in one place or using one of the stations.

Blacksmiths will only buy weapons, armor, ores, ingots, leather, leather strips, and certain other items.
