I have and can't find parts for it. My handle has broken, as it was cheap cast chinesium it appears.

The handle seems tricky to make, but I thought I'd toss it to the machinists to see if it's something that can be done, either: - in wood - via traditional machining - via 3-d printing - other?

Sure. Use a grinder to expose clean metal where you intend to weld so it sticks good. Use a grinder to clean up the "looks" of the weld after. Coat with rustoleum primer and finish with black paint. Better than new!
