The sword of Frodo, hobbit
that saved of badly to the Average Earth in "the Gentleman of the
Ring", was forged in a forge of Toledo. Not the one that takes in
the films but if the retort of the high range that makes since project
first film.
Conan, the Inmortales,
Hercules and princess Xena, among other heroes of the great screen and
the television, also brandished swords of Toledo to face their main
enemies. Even the ring of being able of the saga created by J.R.R.
Tolkien surgio of a corner of the smelting of Marto swords, a company
with 40 years of history whose central seat is in Olías del Rey
(Toledo), to little kilometers of the city manchega, and that has
become the armory but asked for by the enthusiastic ones of the
fantasy and action cinema.
Marto swords, whose salts
always plows made to by to greater, decided one decade ago to to enter
themselves in the complicated sector of the cinematographic licenses
of marketing research. The company there are the exclusively feature
to distribute in Spain retorts of the swords of "the lord of the
rings" who receives from the to foreigner. They plows eight arms
without edge that take to certificate of autentic, for seal essential
the incondionales of the work of Tolkien and of course, for the
collectors of the swords of the Lord of the Ring. But, in
addition, the company you produce to sword of superior Frodo of
quality that cannot be commercialized in Spain and that single dog be
sold to traves of catalogues and Internet in 200 the U.S.A. with to
price that surpasses dolars.
They are the paradoxes of the
world of the licenses. But the product family of épica of Tolkien
does not finish in her spectacular swords of the members of the
community of the ring, the phantoms and their evil pursuers, but that
includes some of imitation jewellery articles, silver and gold.
There is manifold versions
and sizes of the indestructible ring with which it must load Frodo in
its adventure by tenebrous places. The brass hoops will be made in
Marto Swords, whereas those of noble metals - the one of gold can cost
up to 525 euros and has unconditional that do not doubt to buy it-
take place in Palma de Mallorca and they commercialize fromToledo.
The ring of being able,
identical to the one of the film, takes to engraving in its inner
circumference a message written in the language of Mordor, country of
the dark: "A ring to govern them to all. A ring to find them... A
ring to attract them all... and to tie them in the darknesses".
The factory and the smelting
which they leave the swords of Marto, are located in an attached
building to the one of the expository room. Some thirty workers is in
charge to cut the steel, to give form him and to polish it to trasform
it in the cutting weapons "without edge" that soon are
distributed in different points of sale from the country. In the
factory there are innumerales machines to develop different functions,
but there is an essential activity in the process, - the smoothed one
of the rough steel that althought today is made by hand to hammer
blow. Once the edge this apalanado good and with the suitable form, is
introduced in a furnace to more than thousand degrees before happening
to the polishers. In an adjacent room, several employees are in charge
to make the grips. For it, they place a mold in a machine and later
they introduce in her a special alloy that is solidified with the
chosen form. Finally the finished one arrives. In another one I build
work the creative ones, professionals who are taken care of to maximo
by the people in charge of Marto Swords, and that single estan
accessible to a handful of people to avoid the feared industrial
espionage.
