The kanji 鎌鎌 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. It combines the radical 金(かね, kin, meaning "metal" or "gold") on the left, indicating the material of the tool, and the phonetic component 兼(ken, meaning "concurrently" or "also"). The phonetic component provides the sound. The combination suggests a metal tool (sickle) used concurrently.
