Crossword Genius

A sword of mine (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

claymore

I believe this is a double definition.

'a sword' is the first definition.
(I know that claymore is a type of sword)

'mine' is the second definition.
(I know that claymore is a type of booby trap)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for claymore that I've seen before include "Scottish sword wielded by my oracle" , "Highland sword" , "Highland weapon" , "Scottish two-edged sword" , "mine, sort of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
