Interestingly, the vision of the devil with a pitchfork came about as a result of Christian organizations trying to steer people away from the older religions. Tridents were very common among prior Gods from polytheistic religions so they associated them with evil to make the old religions less attractive to wayward Christians. That's also why he was eventually given horns, because horns used to be seen as a sign of enlightenment and connection to the gods (like cows.)
The devil has a pitchfork, the reaper has a scythe but I'm just a lowly demon so all I have's this little knife.
I stab it to the left, I stab it to the right, I try my very best to stab everything in sight.
But the blade, tis but short and I'm really rather small so the damage isn't great and barely there at all.
