The swords are unexpectedly affordable.

I feel like any rpg lover should own at least a small dagger.

I bought a kitchen knife there maybe 8 years ago. Lovely knife, surprisingly cheap. Still excellent; I wish I had bought more. It was so much cheaper than our other (german made) kitchen knives and just as good if not better.

Mr Zamorano was also super nice despite our limited spanish. Hint - get it wrapped well for travel. He asked if were traveling on rail/air and made sure the knife was nicely sealed. Sure enough, the RENFE folks found the knife and inspected it carefully before we could board.

Mr. Zamorano is a real gem. Despite showing up unannounced, he let us explore the workshop, and we learned a tremendous amount about the craft.

Some of them could use better names, though. "Medieval Sword", "Medieval Sword 2", "Medieval Sword 3" is kind of hilarious but c'mon, you could put a little marketing polish on that.

A couple also seem to be missing pictures.
