Marto (Espadas y Sables de Toledo, S.L.)

Marto, formally registered as Espadas y Sables de Toledo, S.L., was founded in 1961 in Toledo's old quarter with the stated aim of recovering the testimony and techniques of the city's sword-master tradition. The company says its craftsmen include people trained at Toledo's historic National Factory of Weapons, tying the modern workshop directly to the city's centuries-old reputation for tempered steel, and it describes itself as drawing on over a century of accumulated specialized experience in sword and saber manufacture.

The house makes swords, sabers, armor, shields, and related accessories, including licensed film and fantasy replicas alongside museum-reproduction and Templar-themed pieces and a separate Oriental weapons line. Marto's brand portfolio also includes Bermejo, a separate brand Marto's own materials describe as the oldest in its field dating to 1910 — a date stated in Marto’s own materials — plus Windlass Steelcrafts. The group participates in Castilla-La Mancha's regional Strategic Internationalization Plan (2021–2025), reflecting Toledo's continued positioning of swordmaking as an active export craft rather than only a tourist-facing trade, and its own materials describe it as internationally recognized as a leader in sword manufacture.

Of the region's sword and blade houses, Marto is distinguished by scale and reach — a Toledo factory operating since 1961 under multiple brands, staffed in part by craftsmen trained at the city's own historic arms factory, producing everything from museum-grade steel reproductions to licensed collector pieces sold internationally.
