Pair of Malabar Coast Knives

Dear Forum Members,

This is my first post and I want to thank everyone for including me. I would like to share a pair of unusual knives with the forum.

Two knowledgeable friends have suggested this pair of knives are probably from the Malabar Coast of India. I'm guessing they date to the 19th to early 20th century. The knives are 12 3/4" long overall and feel well balanced when held. I wonder how they would have been used?

Best regards,
KeithJ
