I know the answer to this (I think) but can't parse it.

The answer is steals. 

Other than steal meaning nick and swords being made of steel, I don't get it.

According to Miriam-Webster Dictionary steel is another name for sword.  It quotes: drew steel on the bandits, who immediately fled for their livesIt's a new one on me but I am no oracle

So cuaght == sounds like? Then why the "old"? 

According to Miriam-Webster Dictionary steel is another name for sword.  It quotes: drew steel on the bandits, who immediately fled for their lives

It's a new one on me but I am no oracle

OK, that sounds reasonable!

Is that the whole clue? Should be a homophone indicator  for steels/steals to make sense.

The clue is 'nicks from old swords caught'

Question Author

Apologies @miser, I missed the word "caught" off the end of the clue.
