The blade appears to be a French M1886 Epee Bayonet, cruciform blade with a slightly re-profiled tip. I have seen these in various canes of various ages from various regions.
Catherine Dike in Cane Curiosa show a couple of examples, one with the edges filed in decoration, figure 29/58 and and another in figure 29/67. Both appear to be the size and taper of these bayonets.
