I believe Waymar Royce’s sword was steel, in keeping with his notably more extravagant knightly attire that Will describes, in detail, in AGOT’s prologue:

Ser Waymar Royce was the youngest son of an ancient house with too many heirs. He was a handsome youth of eighteen, grey-eyed and graceful and slender as a knife. Mounted on his huge black destrier, the knight towered above Will and Gared on their smaller garrons. He wore black leather boots, black woolen pants, black moleskin gloves, and a fine supple coat of gleaming black ringmail over layers of black wool and boiled leather.

It doesn’t mention specifically that his sword is steel, but traditionally that’s what the finer, more expensive weaponry of Westeros is made of. Iron is heavier and more brittle, but steel is a knight’s metal.

Personally, though, I think the Other’s sword has him beat.

The Other slid forward on silent feet. In its hand was a longsword like none that Will had ever seen. No human metal had gone into the forging of that blade. It was alive with moonlight, translucent, a shard of crystal so thin that it seemed almost to vanish when seen edge-on. There was a faint blue shimmer to the thing, a ghost-light that played around its edges, and somehow Will knew it was sharper than any razor. (AGOT, Prologue)

I can’t find where it says the White Walkers dislike or are weakened by iron, though. Dragonglass, yes, since dragonglass is “frozen fire” and GRRM isn’t being subtle about the fact that dragons are needed to defeat the Long Night.

I would watch the shit out of valyria getting blown up
