Do you only like steel knives? Are obsidian knives, which are handicrafts, not acceptable?

So I had some human femur lying around as one does. Had the idea for years of using some in the handle of a sword. I started off using a much bigger piece of bone but it's pretty brittle and it cracked. So here we are with black walnut with some femur spacers. Blade is 80Crv2. Overall length is 43 inches/ 109.2 CM
