BlackSmith is a South Korean guitar string and accessory brand operated by DHP Corporation, based in the Shihwa industrial zone of Siheung City. DHP began producing fret wire in 1984 and grew into one of the largest fret wire suppliers in the industry, counting guitar manufacturers such as Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, Jackson, ESP, and Schecter among its OEM clients. The BlackSmith brand was later launched to apply the company's precision-manufacturing background to a direct-to-consumer line of strings and accessories.

The catalog covers electric, acoustic, classical, and bass guitar strings, along with ukulele sets, picks, straps, cables, polishes, and the company's original fret wire. BlackSmith is best known for its nano-carbon coated AOT (Aged On Tension) series, which the company markets as pre-stretched strings aimed at improved tuning stability out of the pack. Gauges span from light electric sets through extended-scale 7-string configurations, with separate product families for standard uncoated strings and specialty acoustic and classical sets.

BlackSmith has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Strings and Instrument Cables.
