Relics, possibly, that may produce division? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slicer

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

'may produce division?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'relics possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'relics' anagrammed gives 'SLICER'.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slicer that I've seen before include "Machine for cutting, eg, ham" , "Device for, eg, cutting eggs" , "Cutting implement" , "One making ball curve" , "Kitchen utensil" .)
