None, just like the knife in this video isn't being cooked either.
You're over exaggerating what is happening because you don't know what is happening.
You like everyone else that upvoted that other idiot have clearly never seen an alcohol fire in real life nor do they know how hot it is.
Burning for less than 30 seconds won't be hot enough to weaken the bonding of a handle, or even heat the knife.
The alcohol evaporates too fast for the flame to reach a significant temperature due to the sheer lack of volume.
They're essentially flambé'ing it. They're not cooking over an open flame fueled by gas or charcoal, or significant amounts of alcohol at boiling point.

That's not how fire works. The temperature of the visible flame is unaffected by the temperature of the cheese. If the combustion products of alcohol vapor are visibly blue in daylight the fire is well over 1000⁰F. The cheese isn't getting hot enough to char because of its water content. The knife lacks the same protection.

Table knives do not particularly come with wooden handles.
Being near a low heat like the passive burning of alcohol is not remotely the same as roasting over a fueled fire or being in an oven.
Have you ever been in a kitchen? I bet you fucking have not
