Types of Bars

[yooper400]

I was at a local small engine shop to get a new bar for a Super EZ Auto and they had several different styles. Does anyone know what special purpose a bar with the nose shaped more like a knife would be for? The guy at the shop refered to it as a knife tip.

Although a knife tip is good for small limbs and branches. It has low kickback. Ive seen mostly chainsaw carvers use them though.
