Moral of the story seems to be ... if you are going to devote a lot of time and money to making an outdoor kitchen, make the extra effort (and spend a couple of extra dollars) to go to Walmart and buy a barbeque knife/set which already has a hole drilled in the end for hanging. Or at least use your noggin to realize that you need to use a cheap knife without a tang that extends to the end of the handle. Or use a vice to hold it steady - and a metal bit on the drill. Hope he enjoys his first steak though.
Your dinner looks delicious however, Kerry.
