Less useful than a hatchette. There were quite a lot of Frecnh briqueets used by the CSA though, they were harvested from waterloo by the prussians and in the 1860s wound up beinng sold off to teh CSA. I have a CSA marked one. So you have something that made have gone with Napoleon to Italy or Russian and was at waterloo also being at Bull run.

They were *not* however primarily combat weapons at all but camp tools.
