Are you looking for fancy or just functional? I chose functional and wrapped the wire on mine. A prettier way would be to drill a hole thru the handle the same size as the wire and counterbore the outside. Stick the wire thru, tie a knot that won't suck clear thru the handle and sink the knot into the counterbore. You can then fill the counterbore or plug it if you choose.
You could also get real fancy with it and do a split turning possibly laminating a blank with contrasting pieces of wood and hide the knot inside the handle completely.
Depends on how crazy you want to get with it.
