Tomahawk Question

[Oldetexian]

  No one has mentioned that, but you make yet another excellent point.

I was wondering if anyone had ever come across a reference to using one's tomahawk as an offensive weapon, in a non-fictional reading? I have a very good and well-read friend that says he never bothered with learning to throw his because he never found where anyone in history had.

Interesting thread!
Makes a lot of sense to never throw away your best close quarter defensive weapon.
I never thought of it these exact terms, as I sure 'nuff enjoyed the many endless hours of me throwing my hunting knife back when I was a youngster......back in the 1940s, early 50s a young boys knife and his imagination was about all he had to break the boredom. Don't see it being a whole lot different a hundred years prior.

That brings to mind my Dad catching me out back throwing his Boy Scout sheath knife - to say he was NOT pleased and that I suffered the consequences would be an understatement!
