The Kayamkulam vaal () is a double-edged sword that was used by the rulers and soldiers (mostly in Travancore), in Kayamkulam, a princely state of India. An example is on display at the Krishnapuram Palace Museum in Kayamkulam. The museum has a large number of antiques, which were used by the kings who ruled the erstwhile Kayamkulam State. The most important among them is the Kayamkulam sword. Unlike the common sword, this one has both its edges sharp.
It is said to have been used by the Kayamkulam Rajas in the 18th century.
