A decorative silvered metal ring facilitates the hilt’s transition to the handle, bearing raised flowers divided by rounded gems of identical composition. The handle grip is composed of a tapering piece of polished and ribbed stone. It completes with a decorative, magnetic metal pommel nut, rivet in place to securely maintain the structure of the knife.
