Yes it looks most certainly like a Kerala knife to me.
Mostly they are said to be utility knives, but the quality of this one is higher than most of these knives I have seen. Congratulations, it is very nice. Have a look here http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6752597 |

hello together
The similarity of the knife is extremely close! help thinking patterns in silver plate would have an identification. Flower and bird patterns. |

Yes the decoration can no doubt be traced to a specific place, but for the moment I am up to my neck writing an article about the katar, so I don't have time to do so.
I will however ask an Indian friend who might be able to help. |

My friend could not identify the silver work, but give me a bit of time and I will try if I can find something.
