Sacrificial knives were very ornate and varied greatly. Blades were often made out of a stone that was fragile and easy to manipulate, yet very sharp (obsidian was the most commonly used stone). These blades were symmetrical and would have a point on each end so that one end could be inserted into the handle. Handles could be made from spanish cedar, bone or stone and would often be carved into the images of eagle warriors or gods. This handle would be split at the end, the blade would be inserted into the split wood and then it would be bound tightly with a cord. This sacrifical knife in the British Museum has a handle carved out of spanish cedar with mosiac decorations made out of turquoise and various shells that have been bound to the wood using pine resin. The blade is made out of chalcedony and has been bound to the handle using Agave fibres. http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/aoa/k/knife_with_a_mosaic_handle.aspx
