Why not do it yourself - it's very simple and would save you a bit of money, plus you have the added satisfaction being able to do something new.

Get some good twine, pva glue and a spare 30 minutes and you should be fine

Yeah all you have to do is...
1) Get some watered down PVA glue
2) Rub it all over the handle liberally
3) Bind twine very tightly around the handle
4) Rub watered down PVA glue over the top
5) Leave to dry :)
