I think you'd be well advised to practice your carving techniques for a while on a simple block of wood before launching a project involving actually carving on the knife handle.

Re: Amazing carved opinels,
For more carving material you can now buy in USA from Opiknife store
the ebauche model with larger unfinished handles specifically
for those that wish to carve their own handles.
