Recommendation? Double edge dagger with a larger, beefier handle

I have the following sticker. The blade is double edged and the length is correct. However, the handle is polymer and just too small.
I would prefer something with the same blade, but with a handle that is thicker, cylindrical, and gripped with two hands.
The ideal handle shape would be like the bottom of a wooden baseball bat, as shown in the figure below the photos. Any suggestions for something like that? Thanks.

Kinda, sorta what you are looking for....in an abstract way.

Thread 'American Leuku'

The knife you pick when you can't decide between an axe and a blade. 7" of 0.200" 1084, hickory axe haft handle, micarta bolster. Belt finished. It's working title was "American Leuku":

Thanks for looking.

* Me personally, I Love the looks of this knife!
 
Yep, cutting down a cheap bat and mounting the blade thru a bolster would work.
Turning a slimmer bat-style handle could also be done.

The handle on the American Leuku above is literally a replacement axe handle from the hardware store. $15 for a pre-shaped hickory handle is an unbeatable value. Reduce, reuse, recycle. :)

I think anyone wanting a baseball bat, would me more than THRILLED with Yours.... If anything maybe just a hair longer for both hands?
This is one of my Favorite blades on this forum!

OP.... The axe handle version is better because the oval cross section keeps the knife from twisting in your hand during use. Something to think about
