Mr. 16 gauge,
Excellent question. I am sure there was a lot of OJT (On The Job Training) on the Frontier! I know of no "Manuals" of how to use the knife and hawk. From my readings on close hand-to-hand combat, it seems the 'hawk was in the strong hand and the knife in the weak hand and then "go for it."
I agree, I would not throw my hawk since it may be badly needed quickly thereafter to bludgeon a big bad guy "up close and personal." Let's see what our resident Longhunters have to say.
Adam
