I strongly second the recommendation on Coal Creek -- I just got my first hawk from Steve and it's pretty close to perfect.
I've also got a Fort Turner Iroquois and it's pretty nice. Probably wouldn't be a bad thrower. But there are little things about it that I'm not wild about (alignment of the blade to the eye, etc.)
The Coal Creek hawk I just got cost the same as the FT, but I feel it's much better quality. As in, no comparison. But, if you get an FT you'll probably like it, lots of people here do. I might have just been unlucky with mine.
No matter what, I *strongly* encourage you to stick with your plan and buy from an American craftsman. So get one from Steve or Dana or Stuart and rest easy...
