I wonder how well that would be to make tomahawks out of?

Something like this:

What do you want for a bar of it with shipping, to 93268?

I turned an automotive axle in my lathe once, it dulled a lot of carbide.
It would be cutting OK, all of a sudden a spark and there goes the tool bit.
It seemed to have hard parts in the steel, might make a poor man's Damascus
(hard and softer steel combined).
