Spanish article raised in kerfuffle? Sword and where it's made (6)

I believe the answer is:

toledo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sword and where it's made' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'spanish article raised in kerfuffle?' is the wordplay.
'spanish article' becomes 'el' (the definite article 'the' in Spanish).
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'kerfuffle?' becomes 'todo' (I've seen this before).
'el' reversed gives 'le'.
'le' put within 'todo' is 'TOLEDO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toledo that I've seen before include "Sp. city, former Visigoth and Castilian capital" , "City in central Spain famous for swords" , "To dole out in the Spanish city" , "Blade" , "River Tagus city" .)
