What is this?

It's a nice looking blade, with a not very practical looking mounting.
No direct view from the end, but it looks like there might be a peined tang end. The flat back might go against a wall, but it seems to have no hanging device. It might go on a desk, for a letter opener. The strange thing about the flat back is that the ball at the tip seems to "rise" above its surface, which would make it hard to lay it flat against a surface.
