Beautiful ones Roland! That Holmberg with the serrated blade is very unusual and could very well be for grapefruit although most grapefruit knives are thin and flexible and are serrated on both sides and sometimes the blade tip is bent at an angle to facilitate lifting out the segment after it has been separated.
Here are some examples of grapefruit knives I have including one that is very unique:
The double blade has one that is bent and serrated on both sides and the other that is actually two very thin blades fitted together.They are designed to slip over the divider of the segments and cut on both sides simultaneously .When all the segments are separated the opposite end is used to lift them from the fruit.
