Funny you should ask because I just added an olive fork to my collection in Hamilton by Alvin and the only difference between it and a two tine butter pick is that the tips of the tines have very small spears on them. Otherwise they look very much alike. So many pieces look alike, especially when sizes are not consistent between manufacturers. For example I have an ice cream spoon in Old Baronial that is a good 1.5 inches longer than the same piece in Majestic by Alvin, and a third in Old English by Towle that falls somewhere in between. But if they were all the same, it would not be as interesting would it?
What is the difference between a two tine butter pick and an olive fork?
