Here is a link to an very interesting article about a modern approach to designing a Supersteel by scientists at Northwestern University, and the resultant product, Ferrium C69.
The C69 stands for the practical rockwell value achievable...

It also includes a brief assessment of the qualities of a steel required for killing Dragons.
In case the link doesn't work, go to www.newscientist.com then go to Archive, register for a free 7 day trial and enter 'Ferrium C69' in the seach field. Took me 5 minutes.
