On one hand, this does point out that there is at least some evidence suggesting they were actually used as weapons.

On the other hand, this also exemplifies exactly why they were so uncommon. Even if you could use them in combat, I imagine any benefit gained from the hook is drastically outweighed by the extra complications to fighting with it.

Well depends. If you don't plan on stabbing a hook is great to get around shields. Make it a more choppy of slicing sword.
