Weapon involving terrible risk? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kris

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

'terrible risk?' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates an anagram.
'risk' is an anagram of 'KRIS'.

'involving' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kris that I've seen before include "Malayan dagger" , "Indonesian dagger; sounds like fold" , "weapon" , "Malay knife" , "Malayan slashing knife" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
