锋

fēng

point of a spear

edge of a tool; vanguard; forward (in sports team)

metal (钅) + phonetic (夆) = the sharp point of a blade

The metal radical grounds the meaning in a sharp, forged edge — a blade tip or spear point. 夆 contributes the sound fēng and does not add meaning here.

钅+夆→锋
夆No clear semantic contributionPhonetic
钅MetalSemantic
