As for assembly, I do it a little differently: I tend to split the sleeve and adapt it to the handle in one piece (but it is possible in two...), then I tighten strongly in the vice to bring the metal closer to the wood and I weld two staples across to hold it in place...
I noticed the skew of the slit in your handle and I think it was an initial weakness. Normally the wood fibers should be parallel for maximum strength.
