Sharpened (5)
I believe the answer is:
honed
'sharpened' is the definition.
(honing is a kind of sharpening)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for honed that I've seen before include "Sharpened with a stone" , "Refined" , "Perfected" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the USA Today, the LA Times, the Evening Standard and the Universal.
