Moved slowly, like sharpened blades (5)
I believe the answer is:
edged
This clue could be a double definition.
'moved slowly' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'sharpened blades' is the second definition.
'edged' can be an answer for 'sharpened' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'blades' bit.
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edged that I've seen before include "Provided with a border" , "Advance slowly sideways" , "Moved furtively" , "so moved forward slowly" , "Hemmed" .)
