Looks like a pedicure tool, not a wood rasp; OK for Balsa maybe ...

Piece of 3mm stainless steel sheet same shape as whole black plastic
piece including handle. Hammer into shape over a wooden mandrel and cut
out hole for blade. File smooth. Small panhead screws to hold on blade.

Could just bolt on a new handle, but the rest of the plastic would
break.

Probably easier to attach wood to the back of the whole thing, with holes for shaving escape.

It's FUBAR - chuck it in the bin and buy a new one!

Agreed! Dont think it was ever intended for wood.

Funny looking rasp, not like a Surform or traditional rasp, more like
a kitchen grater. Just use it as is, holding the sides. Or if you must
have a handle, make a wooden replacement for the whole plastic part and
fix the blade to that.
Note that it appears to cut on the pull - were you pushing too hard?
