Collapse awkwardly dropping old surgical tool (7)
I believe the answer is:
scalpel
'surgical tool' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scalpel that I've seen before include "Surgeon's blade" , "Surgical tool" , "Operator may use this" , "sharp knife" , "Surgical blade" .)
