Here is a tool called a "hot cut" that I made from an old Bridgeport (Noxtox) crate hammer.
The claws for pulling nails was irreparable, so I just decided to forge the whole thing into a different tool that I will get way more use out of.
I've already got several sorts of nail pulling instruments, I don't really need a bunch more.
This tool can be used to cut a split into metal and since it's a much more acute angle, it can make a cut with out too much deformation of the split ends.

I suggest to use a saw, which is easier, to facilitate the halving of the 5/8ths in. (15.88 mm) bar. I could do the same thing with the hot cut tool and not have to jump between the forge, the quench tank, and the vise with a hacksaw.
It's just faster to do the work while it is hot, than it is to wait to cool it down or wait for the forge to get back up to temperature to heat the bar back up.

It's just one of many ways to fix a handle to something. Honestly I couldn't put the two handle scales as you're describing onto the sides of it, because there wasn't enough material.
In order to do that I'd have to make the flat part of the handle of the tool significantly longer while keeping the same width, however the thickness would decrease because the material is stretched out. It would be thin and flimsy.
