Toledo, Spain, has been a sword-making hotbed for 2,500 years — now just 2 artisans are keeping the tradition alive

José Ramón Moreno learned the art of sword-making when he was 16 years old, at a time when there were hundreds of bladesmiths in Toledo, Spain.Toledo, Spain, has been a hotbed for sword-making since the 5th century BC.

"The future of sword making is like coal — dark," sword-maker José Ramón Moreno told Business Insider Today. "If things don't change, Toledo's sword making will become a legend. There is no one to follow us nor is there much more business to continue. This is all going to disappear within a few years."

"Right now, we are talking about a craft that is about to go extinct because there is no demand," Zamorano said. But the coronavirus pandemic has struck a blow to their businesses. With tourism coming to a standstill during lockdown, the main market for their decorative swords disappeared. It's caused the 69-year-old Zamorano to consider retirement.
