A chip carver would make a great addition to a sloyd carver.
As to the heat issue, grind a bit then dunk in water. Repeat as necessary.

Given that this is the second knife that the OP has managed to break in as many months (see thread below), I suspect that "operator error" is a more likely explanation than quality control failures by the knife-making elves that work in the caves below Mora Mountain!

OK. Guess I just like writing letters!

While drunk, with a knife not designed for throwing. Good luck with that!
I'm outta here, you mistreat knives and don't know what you're doing.

not everyone is born with knife using skills , please don't forget the fact that I am from country where this subject is on 0 and I am trying my best to learn something and to teach someone something in my country. It is not easy when your only source of knowledge are videos on youtube and a few books.
He's not a troll, just someone who hasn't learnt (yet) how to determine limits of tools. Such as; use a soft-mild steel knife for practising throwing, don't use a knife as a pry bar.
I would use the broken off bit of blade to make a small folder.

Damn, turned out rather good. Saved it there mate... and learnt plenty in the process.
Nice one, well done.

Good save there! A very easy handle finish is to do nothing - your natural skin oils will build up over time. It will look a bit grubby at the start, but a sort of patina will build over time. (The side of your nose is a rich source of natural oils)
No sympathy,a knife is a cutting instrument, not a crowbar. I can never see the point when some folk on here try to test knives to destruction. If you want to split a log , use a splitting axe, or mall, not a knife. Surely anyone can destroy any
implement, if they use it for something it was not designed for. I can see the value of cutting wood, or rope, and
using a knife to cut through material, beyond what it is designed for, to see how it will bear up, but I do not see the sense
in trying to use it as a pry bar, when another tool should be used that is designed for this purpose. Rant over.
