"can" being the critical word here. Whether they want to for anybody else is another question entirely. One would better luck approaching the Third Eye Blue cultists.

The Malkioni have the most iron but I'm thinking they don't have the easy (or even rare) access to enchanting it. That drives weapon expertise to the armoured caste which fits in with what we know about the Malkioni. Some knights might also study the mystery of sharing their essense with the Iron so that it doesn't zonk their magic but these would be thought of as strange and weird by all good folk.
