Run into kids playing with knives (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dirks

'knives' is the definition.
(dirk is a kind of knife)

'run into kids playing' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'kids' is an anagram of 'diks'.
'r' placed inside 'diks' is 'DIRKS'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Another definition for dirks that I've seen is " daggers".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
