I just took a piece of wood from my shed. Nothing special. Something you find in every do-it-yourself shop. It's easy to carve as it's relatively soft. I looked at the handle of a Mangbetu knife in my collection and tried to copy it.
It's not yet finished. I have still some sanding to do. But the sickle knife looks better with a handle.
