" The sabre in swashbuckling lore is perhaps one
of the most popular weapons of the pirates. After
all, a pistol took precious time to reload, and after
the guns discharged, the cutlass and sabre remained the
choice that would keep working without fail.
Pirates
nurtured their reputations as fierce combatants at close
quarters and cultivated ferocious images by hanging weapons
everywhere about their person. A pirate could have as
many weapons as he could wear and keep clean. Weapons
were like badges of success and a statement of personality.
The weapons captured from their victims were among the
most coveted items of booty.
Toledo is famous for its historical
character, its art and its steel. Marto inherits the testimony
of the sword manufacturing traditions of Toledo Spain
among the list of the most famous sword cutlers of its
time. Their craftsmen have mastered the original art of
the sword and create with modern materials the high quality
pieces the market clearly identifies as; MARTO PRODUCTS.
