Waylon had arrived long before sunrise this morning, as he always did, to ready the shop for its daily labor. The labor of a bladesmith was not an easy task, generally requiring the work of many specialists, but a simple blade as this could be done by one with dedication.

A blacksmith (or a swordsmith) usually worked alone, or at most with an apprentice or journeyman: there were not "many specialists" involved in his work.
Also the phrase "but a simple blade as this could be done by one with dedication." makes no sense. Perhaps you meant "but a blade as simple as this", or "but a simple blade such as this"?
