All She said was "Can you incorporate this ring in the knife somehow ?" I guess we do our best when we are challenging ourselves.
Chrysoprase neck knife
Neck Knife with a hand cut chrysoprase end stone. A sterling medicine wheel with hand rolled silver cones and fossil walrus-ivory feathers adorns the sheath.
Lapis bird and trout knife
