I believe the answer is:

knife

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blade' is the definition.
(knife blade is a kind of blade)

'king and knight with one iron' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'K' (abbreviation for king in chess).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'knight' becomes 'n' (chess abbreviation).
'with one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'iron' becomes 'fe' (Fe is the chemical symbol for iron).
'k'+'n'+'i'+'fe'='KNIFE'

Can you help me to learn more?
