What were you doing when it broke? Forging it? Keep the steel red while forging, if it isn't glowing don't hit it. Also from the grain it looks like you let it get to hot for to long.

Rich is absolutely right, there is some good info available, you just have to read it.  The basic concepts behind proper forging temperatures and grain refinement are easy to understand, but you will have to do some homework. After you have read what is there, if you have questions I'm sure people will be more than happy to help.
