The sword town

On our last excursion we went to a main sword making place in Spain, it was one of the first places that started making steel and swords. Me and my sister also got pocket knifes. My pocket knife has engraved steel patterns on the sides and a deer in the forest in the middle. We wanted to get daggers alot but our parents didn't want to and we will end up using pocket knifes a lot more then we would use a dagger. My pocket knife is made of "Toledo imperial stainless steel", or at least it says so. Right now people are setting up a bunch of little shops and stands all around the plaza right in front of our apartment. In pretty much every single store in toledo you can find mini swords or real swords or daggers or pocket knifes. In one shop the entire upper floor is filled to the brim with swords and shields and armor. It feels super fun to be in a room that has nothing but swords and shields on every wall. When you buy a mini sword it comes in a little paper case that has a description about the sword. My sword is a Arabic cutlass, it kind of looks like a pirates sword. The handle has a lot of engravings on it and it has a curved tip.
