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.

That's basically saying that knowing if something is bread or meat is baking.
