Blacksmiths
I think "Strike while the iron is hot" is the only blacksmithing phrase that made it into our modern lexicon. "The whistle don't toot in the morning" came close, but didn't quite make it.
Now that I think of it, I don't think any of the other "smithing" professions got any phrases into our vocabulary. So, if anyone asks, blacksmiths ARE better than silversmiths. The ages-old argument is over.

I frequently use "too many irons in the fire," but I regularly employ antiquated diction... and people are always telling me to shut up.
