Similar to a sickle — and in some regions still used to reap grain — a kama is a short, curved blade attached to a simple handle, usually made of wood. It is sometimes also referred to as a kai, and is frequently used in pairs by martial artists.
The kama is a special monk weapon. This designation gives a monk wielding a kama special options.
Because of a kama’s shape, you can use it to make trip attacks. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the kama to avoid being tripped.
