Default fleur de lis tridents

I wonder if anyone can comment on the effectiveness of the sort of fleur de lis tridents (such as one of the jarids and the spear head Artzi shows) as weapons. Only the center prong will have much chance of penetration and the outside curves may even be limiting. I can imagine they might have some utility if the weapon is being manipulated but I have less of of a sense of how they would be useful on a spear, such as a jarid, which is intended to be thrown.
