You should rig the ornament to the battery so it gives a nasty shock if you touch it.
DC doesn't work like that.

Add: he brandishes his knife and comes at you, even after you draw your weapon, shoot to stop the threat, repeat as necessary.

Of course, I am not an electrician. Thought it would be funny if you could rig it to give a nasty shock. I guess the second plan of having the ornament act as a primer pin for an attached grenade would be the next plan.
Well, I will say, Back when I was a young punk, My buddy and I used to steal the cromies from the tires of cars and trucks. One guy in the neighborhood hooked something up so when you would go to unscrew them, you would get a nice shock. Not sure how he did it but we always avoided that place.
Other ways to look at it.
You confront the guy. He brandishes the knife. You draw down on him and yell "drop the weapon". He does and runs off. Let him go and call the cops.

Now if he enters your place of business or home, that is a different set of rules of engagement.
I would just be careful that any use of force is conmensurate with the danger.
I teach hand weapons. If you are confronted within 25 feet (some want this to be upped to 30 feet, +) by an assailant wielding a serious hand weapon, you are in mortal peril. Many millions have died from such over the millenia past
This could be a tire iron, a knife, a large rock, a glass beer pitcher, a piece of rebar, whatever. Think on it. And while you're at it consider getting off yer duffs and learning how to cope with such if primary defenses fail (your gun)
