Some breakfast utensils may be sharp (6)
I believe the answer is:
astute
'sharp' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some breakfast utensils may' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ASTUTE' is hidden in the letters of 'breakfast utensils may'.
'be' is the link.
(Other definitions for astute that I've seen before include "Statue (anag)" , "Shrewd and clever" , "Able to assess (people or situations) accurately" , "Shrewd, wily" , "Clever and crafty" .)
