Not that I'd use it in DFRPG, but at least +3 CF seems better for a silly, but not that ineffective weapon.

Nothing there that I can argue against. I'm simply running with the idea that, as picks use the same melee skill as axes and maces, they must have similar balance, and would presumably be as throwable as axes and maces.

(And that simple guess might be cinematic, in which case a substantial CF would be better, as you suggest.)
