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.
