Fuss about tips of lance and sword (6)
I believe the answer is:
toledo
'sword' is the definition.
(type of sword made in Toledo)
'fuss about tips of lance' is the wordplay.
'fuss' becomes 'todo' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'tips of' suggests removing the centre.
'lance' with its centre removed is 'le'.
'todo' placed around 'le' is 'TOLEDO'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for toledo that I've seen before include "Sp. city, former Visigoth and Castilian capital" , "Spanish city known for swords" , "River Tagus city" , "Maker of 3 [[COLD STEEL]" , "Looted the Spanish city badly" .)
