It looks like a women's club conversation piece from the dainty grip to the decorative point. Probably a whimsical gift among the affluent. There's no guard or finger choil so it was intended for light cutting. The length of the cutting edge isn't curved so it was intended for use on a flat cutting surface. The point is decorated to the edge so it wasn't intended for use. It was probably relegated to cake/bread cutting duty at high tea.
