Have the Atlanta Cutlery Windlass one, been used as hatchet, ax and thrown for 20 years. Rig up a good target, endgrain is best, handles are a maintenance item.
Hit a guy square in the forehead with a tomahawk? The Mohawk Rev. War leader Joseph Brant did that very number on Colonel Ichabod Alden in November of '78, Cherry Valley...
One of the last to flee was Col. Alden, pistol in hand. Brant gave chase, and Alden heard the pursuit and stopped! Turning around, he committed his final act of stupidity and took aim with his pistol. But a tomahawk was already loosed from Brant's hand, and it caught Alden square in the forehead.
Throwing 'hawks was usual in combat in the backwoods back then, especially by Indians, who took a virtuosity in that art for granted. One of them things that happens when ya grow up in the woods without video games and such.
...and note that from the accounts, Brant had to let fly on the spur of the moment as Alden pointed his pistol at him.
OTOH, I haven't heard of a single instance of guys throwing away their knives in combat back then.

If you throw them long enough (again, it is not nearly as difficult as people are lead to believe) you can start throwing "on the fly" pretty quick. You can also increase your distances pretty easily.
Gruff has a huge double-bit and I've seen him connect with it at 30yds.
(This is a reference to an axe and not a cock joke)

I liked the scene in the movie The Patriot where he used the tomahawk on the squad of soldiers that had his son.
We used to throw a Pulaski at trees before we felled them. It was fun and I got to win a few rounds as I started the game. 1 revolution and 7 paces was about perfect. That long handle was fun to watch, luckily we never broke the handle, not sure how!
