Ah, does the grid have redundant words, I had Masoning and have been trying to find a Norwegian link to it. I haven't got the crossword so didn't know.

1 A. Police officer is against refolding this firm (6) sta?l?
I can see 'stable', firm - but I can't see how the clue works.

For those who don't have the magazine, there may be an extra word in the clue.
Thanks for any advice/information.

Re-folding is extra word but don't see why stable either.

Thanks, both of you.
I'd thought 'refolding' might be extra, but I couldn't settle on it until I knew how 'stable' worked. It all makes sense now.
