Don't fuck with blades when you are twisted on GIN. |

刃 is basically sword, which is bisecting a little line, which we'll think of as a FINGER for the purposes of the following mnemonic:

| は |
BOOBOO: not a knife or sword - the BLADE or the SHARP EDGE of one. Remember, swords don't kill people, 刃s kill people.

| 刃 | blade | SWORD | 刀 |
| 丸 | round | HOOK | ![]() |
Blade comes from the SWORD radical, which makes sense.
'Round' comes from 9, which has a HOOK on the right side. (the right side of blade turns outwards).
So you can say, "I can hang nine round donuts on the HOOK."
