I'm pretty sure "holds tighter" just means "harder", not "more dense". I know skyforged steel is magical, but real steel is all the same density (give or take a small fractional percent), regardless of grade / alloy.
However, for blunt weapons, harder IS better. If the weapon surface deforms, that absorbs some of the force of the blow.
