Keen types from Sheffield? (6)
I believe the answer is:
blades
'keen types' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'from sheffield?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'blads' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blades that I've seen before include "Knife edges or dashing fellows" , "Cutting parts of knives" , "Leaves of grass or cutting tools" , "cutters" , "Football club nickname" .)
