tined
Having sharp points
Tined means having tines—the pointed prongs of a fork or similar implement.
A three-tined fork has three prongs; a four-tined fork has four.
The word appears mostly in compound adjectives describing utensils or antlers: a heavy, four-tined pitchfork, the many-tined rack of a mature buck.
