They can know what metal is without being able to work with it. Having no knowledge of metalworking does not entail not knowing what it is.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) Yes they can, but there are 2 parts to metalworking: Moving metal and knowing whether what your hitting with a hammer is in fact metal. So in a way they know some metalworking. Knowing what metal is does not mean they know metalworking. And it definitely doesn't mean that some of their forges are better than Rohirric ones.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) I never said they were better I said only their best could match​ rohirric smithes.

yes I agree they didn't know how to move​ the metal but they knew what was metal so in a very very very small way they knew a small amount of metal working, not the actually metalworking but just what is metal.
