Titanium Tag

Best material for use in sword making?

What is the best usable material to use in forging a real combat ready sword? I have heard that 440 stainless steel is only used for show swords. Would it be possible to use another metal such as titanium? (if you could afford the large price tag) Or possibly a titanium alloy?

The best material you could possibly ever find is Japanese Jewel Steel, Tamahagane.
