French dagger for comment

By (all) the looks of it, i wouldn't reject that, the inclination of its maker was more towards its design than to its stabbing efficacy.
The horn handle raising the hunting dagger possibility, i would dismiss it due to its short length; unless if it were a 'coup de grace' for wounded game but, again, the curved blade would have no purpose. Notwithstanding that, yould would still be able to stab with it with lethal effects.
All in all, an elegant little knife
