Unlock Blacksmith at Strength 4

Blacksmith is on Strength Level 4

The Blacksmith perk is unlocked when your Strength is at Level 4. You can start at this level by assigning 4 points to Strength during the Registration Form at the start of the game. Otherwise, you can get to this level by collecting SPECIAL magazines or bobbleheads and spending perk points upon level up.

After getting to Strength 4, you're free to spend perk points on ranking up the skill, as long as you are at the required character level to rank up.
