Can any priest bless a sacramental?

Yes and no. The question is like asking whether any priest can say the Mass, he can, but only according to the rite in which he was ordained. Sacramentals are similar in that every priest can bless them, however, there are some sacramentals that are specific to certain priests and their religious orders. All priests have a ritual that contains the basic prayers and blessing for sacramentals. Most everything has a blessing for it, some even have very specific blessings. There are, however, certain sacramentals that have specific blessings that are ordinary only given by the priests of specific orders. For instance, any priest can bless a rosary, but if a Dominican monk/priest blesses a rosary, he can give the blessing proper of his order which carries special indulgences. Any priest can bless a crucifix, but if it is a Benedictine crucifix there is a special blessing that a Benedictine monk/priest can attach to it. Ordinary parish priests, or priests from other congregations, can actively seek to be invested with the privilege of being able to give these special blessings from the order itself, or, the order may issue a dispensation granting a specific group if not all priests to be able to bless certain sacramentals according to their blessing.
