The wooden handle is carved to a point at each end and is round in cross section. It is smooth and matte in surface treatment. A series of drilled depressions along the side edge of the handle at one end creates the grooved ridge in which the two shark teeth slot in securely lashed with kora (coconut fibre cordage). One of the wii n bakoa is perforated with one hole centred at its base while the other is perforated with two holes at the same location. A small hole is drilled at the grip end with a loop of kora cord, brown in colour threaded through for suspension. The wii n bakoa are natural in colour, while the wooden handle is dark brown in colour.
