You're not gonna find one of those available commercially. Your best bet might be to buy railroad pick handle and shave it down to fit.

Or buy a raw stave of hickory and make it totally from scratch. I believe House Handle has sold them by request. I think shipping is high.
After it was split;did you bend it to that shape, or carve it?
Ash is often used as a substitute. It is softer and easier to work so that might be a good choice. I might also suggest a 4 in hand file for the job.what other wood would make a good handle?
