Default What did Santa Bring ya???

this crap:

Did you once read a romance novel which mentioned the superiority of
"Toledo steel" and you generalized an entire universe of "knowledge"
from that? Spain has produced some wonderful blades. Unlike you, I
don't have "lots of swords"; but I do have a few, two of which are
Toledo blades. They're beautiful and I love 'em.

I didn't say it was "Toledo Steel."

But they're not nihonto.

And neither is your "Spanish folded steel samurai sword," if it even
is Spanish. The best of those "Spanish" blades from folks like Marto
or CAS-Iberia are actually made by Paul Chen (Hanwei) in Taiwan.
That's the best of them; most are thrown together in Chinese prisons
or similar unskilled-labor situations. Just FYI.

It's a Marto. Made in Spain, not some Chinese prison.
