Knife found in pub just after midnight? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barong

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

'pub just after midnight?' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'just after' becomes 'on'.
'midnight?' becomes 'g' (the middle letter in 'night').
'bar'+'on'+'g'='BARONG'

'found in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
