Mark brings up fellow having one weapon (8)
I believe the answer is:
scimitar
'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" .)
