Tactical Ram Dao Machete – 16-Inch Hand-Forged Nepalese Blade for Heavy-Duty Use
The Tactical Ram Dao Machete by Everest Forge is a rugged, functional version of the traditional ceremonial sword — reimagined for modern, heavy-duty field use. Forged in Nepal using time-tested blacksmithing techniques, this 16-inch blade retains the powerful forward-curved design of the classic Ram Dao while delivering tactical efficiency and unmatched durability.Crafted from 5160 leaf spring steel, salvaged from truck suspension systems, the blade undergoes a precise forging process that includes water tempering for maximum edge retention and strength. The machete is then sharpened to a fine edge, capable of cutting, hacking, and clearing through thick brush or wood — making it ideal for bushcraft, survival, or heavy outdoor work.
The 7-inch full tang handle, made from rosewood and wrapped in leather, ensures superior grip and control even in demanding conditions. The Tactical Ram Dao is a modern blade rooted in history — built for warriors, explorers, and those who require a tool that performs without compromise.
