It depends on the manufacturer. It is a high grade steel manufactured to meet specific standards. I believe it would most likely be a tool grade steel.

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
