Anyone know if this is special ?

I assume it's a letter opener. (silver plated)

About 6 inches long in the scabbard.

Without any measurements it seems to me that the blade is too short for a letter opener.

Could it be a manicure implement....or is the blade sharp enough for it to be a pocket fruit knife?

I think you might be closer to the mark lyndal.

Yes, too short and very sharp, more likely to be used for cutting.

Thanks.
