If you ask me what was this knife doing at the Surathkal Beach, your guess is as good as mine. I do have a theory about it but it would be fun to read your views first!
Very ornate knife too! Maybe it is ancient, and was lost here in a duel hundreds of years ago, and the shifting sands brought it over to the surface … can actually get carried away with ideas for this .. 😉
Once upon a time, while traveling in Guatemala, a friend and I came upon a machete in the grass at a park. It scared us when we saw it. We were the only people in the park, as far as we could see. We left it there and left the park!
Looks like a multipurpose knife.. probably used in some crime? What did you do? Clean it and take it home? handed it over to police? or left it there? beware… you might be charged with attempt to hide crime evidence.. he he….
Somebody used it to prise open the seal of a bottle that contained a message, and then was so excited to read the contents of the message that they forgot the knife there 😀
lol…your readers definitely have a great sense of imagination!I am thinking it is a utilitarian knife used to make broom sticks from coconut tree branches.
Bindu that is a nice one!Kelly I can understand that! However, kid were playing on this beach!Shrinidhi, do not try to scare me off!Ranjan that could be possible!Shruthi that again is imaginative!Lakshmi, again I could not have come up with this one.Vamsee you have another quite plausible explanation!Doli, I know!VS, quite possible.Kusum that is quite possible.My theory is that it belonged to one of the women who cam to throw vegetable peels and such stuff on the beach! She threw the knife accidentally away!

Nice Photo! Maybe a fisherman’s tool??
Looks like picnickers or students who have come here for to party with some beer ..

Maybe someone was tring to catch some fish with that knife 😛
1. There was shop there earlier in the day, the guy moved to some other place and the knife was left behind.2. The travelling vendor dropped it there.
I think it is from a fisherman or some local vendor.
