20-Inch Ram Dao Sword – Hand-Forged Ceremonial Blade with D-Guard and Ganesh Pommel

This customized 20-Inch Ram Dao Sword from Everest Forge is a ceremonial weapon rooted in ancient Hindu ritual traditions, now reimagined with modern detailing. Still faithful to its sacred origins, this variant features a D-Guard handle for added hand protection and a Ganesh pommel, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and divine blessing.

Traditionally used across Nepal, Assam, Bengal, and East India in rituals of animal sacrifice, the Ram Dao's broad, curved blade was designed for decisive, single-stroke cuts. This modern version is hand-forged in Nepal from 5160 leaf spring steel, water-tempered and polished to deliver both strength and ceremonial beauty. The blade is engraved with traditional symbols along the spine, honoring its heritage as a sacred instrument.

The 7-inch full tang handle, crafted from durable rosewood, is enhanced by a D-Guard for grip security and finished with a spiritual touch through the inclusion of a Ganesh-inspired pommel. A handcrafted scabbard is included for safe carrying and display. Whether used for ritual, collection, or historical display, this Ram Dao represents a unique fusion of craftsmanship, culture, and devotion.

Historical Significance:

The Ram Dao has long been used in Hindu and tribal rituals for sacrificial purposes — a powerful tool wielded by high priests and warriors. Blades like these were crafted to not only serve in sacred rites but also as emblems of protection and spiritual power. The presence of Lord Ganesh symbolism, a deity revered for removing obstacles and granting strength, enhances this sword’s ceremonial identity. The D-Guard reflects martial evolution, enhancing combat practicality while preserving tradition.
