King ordered fine blade (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knife

'blade' is the definition.
(I know that Knife is a knife)

'king ordered fine' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'K' (chess abbreviation).
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'fine' is an anagram of 'nife'.
'k'+'nife'='KNIFE'

(Other definitions for knife that I've seen before include "following Stanley perhaps" , "Cutting utensil" , "Silent killer" , "Dagger" , "Potential weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
