You simply need to use drill bits intended for drilling metal, which are capable of drilling through hardened high carbon steel.

If your knife handle is 1.2"-1.4" thick, this mosaic piece will make 4 pins when cut, good for several knives. Our mosaic pins have been vacuum-pumped to remove air bubbles. The resin is pulled in with a high-end vacuum, which pulls the glue down, and removes any small bubbles. The pins are cured afterward and lastly polished and burrs removed. The center of the mosaic pin is filled with clear epoxy resin. The filling will appear dark when initially received, however light will be able to shine through when you are done cutting this down to small pieces for your knife handle. The transparency will become evident with the smaller length pieces. You wont get any "rattlers" with our high quality mosaic pins (a "rattler" is where you have loose pieces inside the mosaic pin due to inadequate vacuum pumping out of air bubbles prior to the curing stage).
