What Metal is used for making swords?

Answer:
Damascus Steel
I believe this is what they are looking for. It's the answer to the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle clue.

   

ANSWER:

It depends on the sword in question. If you wan to buy a cheap-o, decoration sword, they are made with aluminum or stainless steel. If you are looking for a real sword, it's made of high carbon steel (the higher the number, the stronger it is. 700+ is fine, I think.)
