The knife is Short Round's.....Indy tries to use it to pry the stone out on the wall in the spike room, and, when unsuccessfull, hands it back to Shorty, who sheaths it at his waist. Hoped this helped clear this up (NM)

: Everyone knows that Indy carried a pocket knife in 'Raiders', but have you watched 'Temple of Doom' really close? When the giant Thugee picks up Indy's whip to flog him there is something tangled in the fall that drops on the ground... a sheathed hunting knife. Although the Marvel comics often depicted him carrying knives and utility pouches on his web belt I think we all know that the films have never shown Indy carrying such a weapon. So, what's the deal with this knife? I noticed it years ago (when my Mom bought our first VCR and Temple of Doom was new on video. Christ, I'm old!)and it's always puzzled me. Any comments? On the knife, not my age. :)
