limitations of searchology

It's a simple question, really. I was looking at bar sets and idly wondering why a bar knife has a forky bit on the end. Newbie hypothesizes it's so you can pit olives, but this seems wrong to me.

Wikipedia fale us; and for the rest, well, if you search for "bar knife", you learn everything you want to know about Ka-Bar blades.

Edit: Yes, I got the answer eventually. Just sayin'.

The second (non-advert) result from google was
http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=212449
which is selling the Rosle Stainless Steel Bar Knife and the description includes "The two prongs at the tip are perfect for picking up segments after they're cut."

So, basically, the same reason as a cheese knife.

Oh, so *that's* what a bar knife is. I was wondering...
