Would it be possible to make an integrated handle, like those of the neolithic Danish flint daggers? Would look awesome.

hehe, that thing is probably nearly a pound. from what i here, the longer and thinner the blade, the more skill required to make it, and that's the same thickness of most your other knives judging from your pictures, but twice the length. good job.

Is it possible to make a strong sword if you had a bigger piece to work with?

You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.&&&&Remember - You are unique.............just like everybody else.

wrap some hide around it for a knife handle and make a sheath from the same hide

find a big length of bamboo for a spear shaft
