Historical Background

The Ram-Dao is an weapon from the Nepal with an unusual shaped blade. The overall shape of a blade is similar to that of a question mark. However, other depictions of this blade have it appearing similar to a giant machete. Regardless, it was a very heavy sword which was meant to behead a sacrificial animal with one swing. The Ram-Dao is primarily used in Nepal and Bengal, though is one of the iconic weapons used by Kali, the goddess of death. It was usually adorned with some geometric designs and a bloody eye.
