It's a fancy 19c butter knife.

Another possibility is a fish knife. Fish knves and forks for formal eating of fish had a similar blade shape, and there was a larger version used to cut and serve fish. Given that the blade on the knife in question is sharp, then I think a fish serving knife may be the most likely use for it. Butter knives are notoriously blunt because butter at room temperature is very soft.


Here is a set of a fish knife and fork for serving.

I agree with Ian, it's a Fish Slice serving tableware.
