I mentioned the knife finds to him already, although there are no images. Its still possible they could have decorated the handle with bones.

Furthermore, it would not generate so much friction as you would be unable to pull it the handle back. Reconstructions have already been made of this style, Comitatus did one back in the 90's (although it used a screw) and there a few others out there with a sliding handle.
