Knife in her egg a diner's taken back (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dagger

'knife' is the definition.
(I know that dagger is a type of knife)

'in her egg a diner's taken back' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'taken back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'reggad' can be found hidden inside 'her egg a diners'.
'reggad' back-to-front is 'DAGGER'.

(Other definitions for dagger that I've seen before include "'Short, double-edged blade (6)'" , "A weapon; a reference mark" , "Macbeth's weapon" , "The weapon Macbeth thought he saw" , "Stabbing weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
