Utensils to mostly tenderise ingredients hung around head of nail (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
dinner set
'nail' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dinner set that I've seen before include "Plates etc" , "China" , "might be taken out for a meal" , "crockery" , "Table service" .)
