This might be a double definition.

'spotted' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cutting implement' is the second definition.
'saw' can be an answer for 'implement' (saw is a kind of implement). I'm not certain of the 'cutting' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saw that I've seen before include "Wise old saying about a tool" , "Perceived visually" , "Saying; cut wood" , "Toothed cutting tool" , "Hand tool; proverb" .)
