The manufacture of Toledo steel involved an alloy of iron and steel, resulting in a steel with uniform distribution. This alloy was more flexible than others, making it stronger and more manageable.
Over the centuries, sword making in Toledo declined, until the Toledo Weapons Factory was created in 1761 with the intention of recovering the splendor of the city's weapon making. Short weapons were made only from steel, while long weapons were made with an iron core covered with two steel plates.
