This is my homebrew version of an "Unchained Fighter".
Design Philosophy
"Warrior's Trade" are added in addition to the Fighter's stuff, and is not intended to replace anything. As such, they are meant to be compatible with any Fighter archetype.
"Warrior's Trade" represent a trade that the Fighter picked up to compliment his Fighting abilities. Maybe the Fighter started out in one of these trades, and that is what got them interested in learning more about fighting techniques (such as a blacksmith taking an interest in learning combat to use his own weapons) or maybe it happened the other way around with the character starting out as competent fighter, who sought proficiency in this trade to assist him (such as a soldier who learned under the quartermaster of his regiment, or a Gladiator who was tired of paying the local blacksmith to repair his/her weapons).
I put the benefits at every odd level simply because if you look at the Fighter's level advancement, the odd levels after 1st are pretty much just "Armor Training!" "Weapon Training!" doing a whole "Duck Season!" Rabbit Season!" routine, and I figured those levels needed the most spice.
EDIT: No longer replacing the bonus feat at 2nd level.
Unchained Fighter
Warrior Trades
Although devoted to the tried and true method of traditional fighting techniques of swordplay and archery, a true warrior understands that in order to win the battle, he must master other trades to compliment his acumen on the battlefield.
At 1st level, the fighter chooses a Warrior Trade, representing his devotion to a trade, or profession, that augments his fighting techniques. Once chosen, it cannot be changed. A fighter gains benefits from his Warrior's Trade at 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17, and 19 th levels.
Blacksmith
At 1st level, a Fighter with this Unique Trade gains Craft (blacksmithing) as a unique class skill. This skill counts as both Craft (weaponsmithing) and Craft (armorsmithing), and if he already has ranks in one or both of these skills, he may redistribute those ranks into any of his other skills, provided that he puts the maximum number of ranks allowed by his level into Craft (blacksmithing) this way. He effectively "loses" both Craft (weaponsmithing) and Craft (armorsmithing) as they are replaced by Craft (blacksmithing). He may also use this skill to craft non-metal portions of weapons created in the forge, such as sword hilts, leather straps, and axe handles. He may also add his Wisdom modifier if he wishes to Craft (blacksmithing) checks and does not apply his Intelligence modifier if it is negative.
In addition, he also gains Profession (blacksmith) as a class skill.
He also gains a free set of blacksmith's tools, and a free 15 lb anvil.
Make Your Mark
At 3rd level, the Fighter the Fighter creates a "signature mark" that is unique to his character that he may add item he crafts with Craft (blacksmithing). This signature mark is a unique cosmetic feature unique to his character's works. Anyone who is familiar with his work immediately knows that it is his if it possess this mark, and they get a +10 to identify counterfeit marks. Even someone that is not familiar with his work can still immediately tell that all items with the same mark were made by the same person.
Practice, Practice, Practice
At 4th level, the Fighter gains the ability to gain "Expertise Points" for Crafting specific item types, which represent how continued practice with crafting a specific item can help him rely on his experience as well as his proficiency in his craft.
In addition, the each time a Fighter uses Craft (blacksmith) and spends the necessary time to craft it, even if he is not successful, he gains an "Expertise Point" in for that particular item type. Specific item types include specific weapon types (such as longswords, shortswords, rapiers, katanas), specific armor types (chainmail, plate armor), specific shields (tower shields, steel shields), or other mundane items (keys, manacles, etc.) . He may have a maximum of 5 Expertise add his Expertise points per item type. He may add his Expertise Points as a competence bonus to Craft (blacksmithing) checks and Appraise checks involving that item.
For example, if the Blacksmith uses Craft (blacksmithing) to attempt to craft a katana, he gains +1 Expertise Points. The next time he crafts a Katana, he gets to add that Expertise Point next time he attempts to craft a Katana. Regardless of his success or failure the second time, afterwards, he will now have +2 Expertise Points for crafting Katanas.
Upon gaining this feature, he retroactively gains Expertise points for every item created using Craft (blacksmithing) before reaching 4th level.
He also gains additional benefits for crafting that item type when he reaches a certain number of Expertise Points in an item type:
1 Point : When you take 10, this item takes half as long to create. This only applies to the time it takes to physically craft the weapon, it does not apply to time added due to enchanting the weapon.
2 Points: You know how to cut corners, and still make a functional item. You may choose to craft a "Rough" version of this item at 1/4 the cost and time, but it cannot be made of special materials, and it gains a has a -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls if it is a weapon, has a -1 AC penalty if it is a piece of armor, has the fragile property, has 1/2 the regular amount of hit points, and the DC to break it is decreased by 10. This cost and time reduction only applies to crafting the weapon itself, and not to enchantments or anything else. Crafting a "Rough" version of this item only grants the Fighter +1/2 Expertise Points.
3 Points: You have become an expert at crafting this item. Taking 20 on a Craft (blacksmith) involving this item only takes two times as long.
4 Points: You have spent so much time crafting this item, you have come to understand it completely from inside out. You are considered proficient with this weapon, and gain the benefits of the Quick Draw feat with it.
5 Points: You have become an absolute master at crafting this item. If you take 20 on a Craft (blacksmithing) check involving this item, it is treated as a masterwork quality item at no additional cost.
Master Weapon Merchant
At 5th level, he gains Knowledge (local) as a class skill.
In addition, upon reaching 5th level, if he gains at least 200 gp total (calculated starting at his first Fighter level, and can be completed at any time) from selling items he has crafted using Craft (blacksmith) to NPC's, he gains the following three benefits:
he treats any Appraisal check made to assess the price, value, and or quality of any weapon, armor, shield, or any other item that is made primarily in a forge as if he had rolled a natural 20.
He may also treat any Knowledge (local) check made to find a buyer for an item he has made as a natural 20.
He gains Profession (merchant) as a class skill.

Historical Replica A fighter who has this feature who has at least 3 ranks in Knowledge (history) treats it as a class skill. He may also now create weapons that are replicas of famous historical weapons, provided he is able to craft that type of item. The DC to craft a historical replica is +10 above what a mundane version of that weapon would be, however the Fighter may add his ranks in Knowledge (history) to that check. The first time a Fighter sucessfully crafts a historical replica of a particular item, he gains +2 Expertise Points for that item.
Magic Weapons and Armor The Fighter gains the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat, ignoring its prerequsites. However. he may only use it for creating weapons and items primarily created in a forge, and if there is a spell component to the item, he needs the services of someone who can cast those spells aiding him (though, they need not have any crafting experience), or he can expend a scroll of that spell as part of the crafting components instead.
Forge RingThe Fighter gains Forge Ring as a bonus feat, ignoring its prerequisites. However. if there is a spell component to the ring, he needs the services of someone who can cast those spells aiding him (though, they need not have any crafting experience), or he can expend a scroll of that spell as part of the crafting components instead.
Change in the FormulaThe Fighter gains Weapon Adept as a bonus feat. If he already has the Weapon Adept feat, he may instead take a bonus feat he qualified for at the level he chose Weapon Adept. He may also add this modification to a weapon at 1/2 the usual cost.

In addition, the Fighter can now add double his Expertise Points with a particular item to craft checks as a competence bonus.
In addition, if he has a cohort through the Leadership feat, he may take them in as their apprentice if they are willing.

Black Hammer Guild Initiate
At 13th level, the Fighter is offered a chance to join the Blackhammer Guild, a society of Master Smiths who have existed for generations and seek to elevate other masters of the craft by providing them with better access to materials. The Fighter gains contacts with the guild, through which he can purchase crafting material, including mundane materials, special materials, and magic scrolls. He may also buy special "Black Hammer Scrolls" which are 1/2 the cost for any spell, but they can only be used to craft items per the Magic Weapons class feature.
Guild Grand Master

The obsidian hammer is considered to be a masterwork blacksmith tool.

You must take 20 on your Craft check to complete it, and you must choose a type of armor, weapon, or shield that is primarily made in a forge. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again. If you were to gain negative levels, or otherwise lose levels in this class, and then were to level up again, you do not regain this feature. The weapon you create through this cannot be replicated, even by use of a wish spell.
When creating your magnum opus, you can combine up to three special materials. The item crafted gains the benefits of all three special materials. It is considered a masterwork item, at no additional cost. In addition, if you create a weapon this way, increase the dice size of the weapon damage by 2 steps. If you create a shield, it gains +1 bonus to AC that stacks with any other benefits. If you create an armor this way, it grants +2 AC which stacks with any other benefits.
You can enchant your magnum opus up to a +12 enchantment.
Usually a Magnum Opus, being made of a specific combination of materials, will have a look that is unique to it, and it alone. You must assign a name to your Magnum Opus.

Design Philosophy
"Warrior's Trade" are added in addition to the Fighter's stuff, and is not intended to replace anything. As such, they are meant to be compatible with any Fighter archetype.
"Warrior's Trade" represent a trade that the Fighter picked up to compliment his Fighting abilities. Maybe the Fighter started out in one of these trades, and that is what got them interested in learning more about fighting techniques (such as a blacksmith taking an interest in learning combat to use his own weapons) or maybe it happened the other way around with the character starting out as competent fighter, who sought proficiency in this trade to assist him (such as a soldier who learned under the quartermaster of his regiment, or a Gladiator who was tired of paying the local blacksmith to repair his/her weapons).
I put the benefits at every odd level simply because if you look at the Fighter's level advancement, the odd levels after 1st are pretty much just "Armor Training!" "Weapon Training!" doing a whole "Duck Season!" Rabbit Season!" routine, and I figured those levels needed the most spice.
EDIT: No longer replacing the bonus feat at 2nd level.

He may also use this skill to craft non-metal portions of weapons created in the forge, such as sword hilts, leather straps, and axe handles.

Specific item types include specific weapon types (such as longswords, shortswords, rapiers, katanas), specific armor types (chainmail, plate armor), specific shields (tower shields, steel shields), or other mundane items (keys, manacles, etc.) . He may have a maximum of 5 Expertise add his Expertise points per item type. He may add his Expertise Points as a competence bonus to Craft (blacksmithing) checks and Appraise checks involving that item.
For example, if the Blacksmith uses Craft (blacksmithing) to attempt to craft a katana, he gains +1 Expertise Points. The next time he crafts a Katana, he gets to add that Expertise Point next time he attempts to craft a Katana. Regardless of his success or failure the second time, afterwards, he will now have +2 Expertise Points for crafting Katanas.

2 Points: You know how to cut corners, and still make a functional item. You may choose to craft a "Rough" version of this item at 1/4 the cost and time, but it cannot be made of special materials, and it gains a has a -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls if it is a weapon, has a -1 AC penalty if it is a piece of armor, has the fragile property, has 1/2 the regular amount of hit points, and the DC to break it is decreased by 10. This cost and time reduction only applies to crafting the weapon itself, and not to enchantments or anything else. Crafting a "Rough" version of this item only grants the Fighter +1/2 Expertise Points.
3 Points: You have become an expert at crafting this item. Taking 20 on a Craft (blacksmith) involving this item only takes two times as long.
4 Points: You have spent so much time crafting this item, you have come to understand it completely from inside out. You are considered proficient with this weapon, and gain the benefits of the Quick Draw feat with it.
