I believe the answer is:

scimitar

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

'weapon' is the definition.
(scimitar is a kind of weapon)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scimitar that I've seen before include "Steel" , "Eastern sword" , "Sword with curved blade used by the Turks and Persians" , "This cut" , "sharp weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
