Cutting edge of Romany XV? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chiv

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

This might be a double definition.

'cutting edge' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'romany xv?' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for chiv that I've seen is " Knife".)
