Ram Dao Sword – Traditional Hand-Forged Nepalese Ceremonial Machete
The 20-Inch Ram Dao by Everest Forge is a powerful ceremonial sword, deeply rooted in the spiritual and martial heritage of Nepal and Northeast India. Traditionally used in sacred rituals and sacrificial ceremonies, the Ram Dao is a symbol of divine justice and strength. This distinct blade design has been used for centuries in regions such as Nepal, Assam, Bengal, and East India, often during Hindu religious ceremonies requiring precise and symbolic decapitation.This modern interpretation is hand-forged in Nepal using high-quality 5160 leaf spring steel, offering a strong and durable blade with a high-polish finish. The sword features traditional decorative motifs and religious engravings along the spine and hilt area, honoring its cultural legacy. The 20-inch curved blade is balanced and functional — sharp, heavy, and designed to perform in ritual or display settings.
The 7-inch full tang handle, made from durable rosewood, provides a secure and comfortable grip, while the handcrafted scabbard ensures safe storage and portability. Whether you are a collector of rare ceremonial weapons, a practitioner of martial arts, or a historian seeking authenticity, this Ram Dao is more than a blade — it’s a preserved piece of Himalayan ritual warfare.
Historical Significance:
The Ram Dao has historical roots dating back to ancient Vedic and tribal traditions. It was primarily used during sacrificial rituals by high priests and kings, where a clean and powerful cut was required. Beyond religious contexts, it also served as a symbol of royal authority and protection, often displayed in temples or royal courts. Its presence across both Hindu and tribal traditions highlights the blend of spiritual and warrior cultures in the Himalayan and East Indian regions.
