Frex in Norse mythology, Naglfar or Naglfari (Old Norse "nail farer") is a boat made entirely from the fingernails and toenails of the dead. Human hair could be turned into clothing, bone and keratin used to turn the clothing into armor.
Bone makes reasonable stone age weaponry.

The video game
Succubus (and I presume its predecessor,
Agony) notes that there aren't any raw materials to work with in Hell other than the bodies of the damned. As a result, all of the weapons and armor in the game are quite clearly made from human flesh and bones.
