I suppose it's a fruit knife but somebody's put a lot of wear in it and the sheath. Looks like it was an EDC. I guess it's really no less useful than a "2 penknife, so maybe it was actually a regular pocketknife.
There are no markings on it. Haven't quite got it clean yet, but the magnifying glass isn't showing up anything. The back of the handle is split. I don't know what the material is perhaps 'French Ivory'? The guard and pins are brass.
It's a little cutie!

I think what you have there zoogirl is a miniature fixed blade, popular in the 1950s-60s as a souvenir knife or as a child's first camping knife. Here is a collection of them. These aren't mine but are part of a collection I tried to buy but we never could get together on the price.
It's hard to see in the photo but I don't see the striations common to French ivory (a type of celluloid) so my guess is the handles are a more modern plastic.

The top of the sheath seems to have been ripped off on mine. You can see the rough edge. It looks like a match for the second from left, top row.
I would want that collection too! Drool...
There's nothing to show that it's been a souvenir, so boys knife it is!
The handle isn't modern plastic, I don't think. Might be celluloid.

Kennedy, your wife has a sweet collection. I enjoyed looking.

Re: I think they're breeding! A baby!
What a great collection! I have a few tiny folders too. I’ve run across a few of the shoes and boots. Don’t have one though. Tell her I’m impressed!
