Colin,
There are a couple of pictures in Spring's book of tribesmen carrying throwing knives that almost give the impression that the purpose of the lower spike is an aid to balancing the knife on the shoulder when being carried, which would allow both hands to be free when needed.
I presume I'm being silly!
Regards
Richard
