I thought the hole in the end of the handle is made to attach there a longer cord that enables us to find the knife if fallen into the snow and the best colour for it would be bright orange.

Tricky to explain so bare with me ...
Instead of tying the lanyard through the eye of the knife as a single strand, tie it as a completely separate loop.

Push the plain end of the loop through the eye of the knife and then pass the fancy knotted end through the loop.

Remove and refit as the task demands, easy, simple & quick

No doubt that's come across as being as clear as mud :0)
Larks foot?

Try the method used for the old fashioned British Police truncheon and perfected over many centuries.of having to retain something important but also having the option to let it go....

Loop through the lanyard hole should be long enough so it can fit across the back of your hand once looped around your thumb.

A good firm grip is afforded, no excess danglage (is that a word...it should be) and you can retain it by the thumb if it slips but equally let it go in an instant.

+1 for orange cord, Swiss Army Knives were bright red for a reason.

Long orange lanyards are critical here. Drop stuff in 12-24" fresh snow and chances are, you won't find it until spring. Sheet like warm car keys sinking fast.
Then you stick the wet key in the door lock and come back later to find the damn door frozen shut at -20C.
It's like putting on insulated gloves or mittens, you don't need them all the time.

Pack your campsite with snowshoes and wait 20 minutes for the disturbed snow to set up. Living is easy. Hell of a thing. Seeing fresh snow up top and my thoughts turned to sharpening the ice claws on my Sherpas.
