Amongst pointed objects, men discover scissors (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
pinking shears
'amongst pointed objects men' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'discover scissors' is the wordplay.
'discover' becomes 'pinking' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'scissors' becomes 'shears' (shears is a kind of scissors).
'pinking'+'shears'='PINKING-SHEARS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pinking shears that I've seen before include "Scissors with serrated cutting edges" , "these cut" , "Scissors with a serrated blade" , "clipper" , "Scissors producing a wavy edge" .)
