I would like to preempt this by saying that this is just the way I did it and it is by no means the only way to do it. If you should happen to find a way that works better than this then by all means use that. This is just the step by step process that I used to get through this task.

Step 1: Come up with a hair brained idea that requires you to put numerous holes in what I can only describe as the hardest G-damn material known to man.
Step 2: Realize that you don’t have anything in your $9.99 Christmas special tool kits that could accomplish such a task.
Step 3: Travel to hardware store and pick out drill bit that you think might do the job.
Step 4: Use new drill bit in an attempt to complete the task.
Step 5: Look at progress with an expression that I can only relate to what I would imagine the cast of “Jersey Shore” looks at calculus questions.
Step 6: Accept defeat and re-group
Step 7: Repeat steps 3-6
Step 8: Get pissed off yell and inadvertently make the dog feel like crap for doing something wrong
Step 9: Repeat steps 3-6
Step 10: Get pissed at the dog because she just watched you fail again and didn’t offer any help
Step 11: Ask for help from the Beckerheads and get a response from the person responsible for creating this obnoxiously hard abomination.
Step 12: Completely disregard the advice of people smarter than you and repeat steps 3-4
Step 13: Get excited because this new Diamond cut Carbide tipped expensive as poop drill bit is actually making slow progress on the knife
Step 14: Complain about using a battery powered drill, the fact that your hands hurt like crap, and the progress is ridiculously slow.
Step 15: Look at dog watching you and wonder if she may know something you don’t about this process
Step 16: Realize you are actually slowly getting through the knife and look at the dog like “what bit$%”
Step 17: Get to the point where you can actually see the indentation of the drill bit poking through the other side
Step 18: Let the 2nd mother %^#@ing battery on your piece of sh*& battery powered drill die.
Step 19: Place 1 battery on charger and wait.
Step 20: Look at knife like “I F&^#ing hate you and I know this is on purpose”
Step 21: Look at dog like “F$%k you”
Step 22: Put fresh battery in drill and graciously complete the task
Step 23: Rejoice in the fact that you have just done something that few (if any) have done in the past

As I said before this is just one way to complete this task and not the “only” way. I would encourage you to find better ways that would suit your particular situation.

i dont see any pics, so im going to have to assume that this is fiction
 
Glad to hear you finally made it through the knife. In the future you might try saying something smart ass to your wife to help in your endeavors. My wife can stare a hole through anything and with just the right amount of smart ass commentary you too can have a hole stared through pretty much anything. Of course if you haven't invested in such an expensive tool as a "wife" you can always keep using drill bits as they are a WAAAAAY cheaper investment.
 
Ha! You nearly had me at Step 12 until I realized it's April Fool's Day.
 
I remember that thread. You were pretty stuck with that carbide bit. I'm honestly surprised you had such trouble.
 
In a compilated* response to all:
1. I only wish this story was fiction; my bank account and my hands would argue otherwise.
2. If I had had a camera in my hands to document the process you could probably insert Step 10.5: Smash the camera because it’s proof of your epic fail
3. If I could harness the power of the aggravated female stare; I would probably be wondering why Bill Gates died so broke.
4. whereismyclock, your sig almost made me spit up my drink.

At this point my knife looks like the compilation of all the things you’re not supposed to do. (i.e. don’t let the metal get hot, use the Dremel slowly, etc…)

I promise I will post pic’s of the final product when it’s done. I am basically taking all the things I have seen with other knives that I liked and incorporating them into the BK-7.
*made up word
 
I like your process, but I think it could be improved by adding a hammer and some well timed expletives in there. Oh yeah, and pics wouldn't hurt either.
 
Cool, what was this very important extra hole for? Pics! Oh, btw poop isn't as expensive as you'd think, in fact I make my own. Good job, fun read!
