It cuts both ways (3-5,5)

I believe the answer is:

two-edged sword

'it cuts both ways' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for two-edged sword that I've seen before include "One cutting both ways" , "We get odd words (anag) - it cuts both ways" , "Something offering both good and bad outcomes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
