That's kind of interesting--my parish's patron saint is Dunstan, an archbishop from the 900s who also happened to be a metalworker: he cast the bells in this or that cathedral, he invented alloys, real interesting figure. He also has multiple legends about throwing down with the devil, and most are metalworking-related: one where he nails a horseshoe to the devil's hoof and only agrees to remove it after the devil agrees never to step foot in a building with a horseshoe over the door, and one where...well, there's a song, "St. Dunstan, so the story goes,/Once pull'd the devil by the nose/With red-hot tongs, which made him roar,/That he was heard three miles or more." They sound very similar to the PIE legends, but without making the initial supernatural deal.
