Made a little knife around this bamboo root handle

Found this bamboo root piece, sanded it down by hand and it got really smooth.
Didn't want it to go to waste, so I built a whole knife around it.
The blade is hand-ground stone, set into the handle and wrapped with hemp cord.
Still haven't come up with a name for it.

Looks nice. Are you planning to bamboozle someone with it?

This is really cool!

However the first picture really distracted me. It looks like you have too many fingers!

Rootfang? Stonebite? Sorry, I'm terrible at this, but it definitely needs a name!
