After having my 700 installed for less than 24 hours, I realized now why there are so in demand. The stock one sucks. I will be forwarding my payment for a standard stainless knob soon.

The wait for a black one is killing me...

 

Ooer...

 

So do we have a more specific timeframe? Need...knob....!

Knob Nazi say you must wait!!!!

Brack knob coming soon!!!!

What would the cost be for a black knob, either with an o-ring, or (preferably) knurled? Diamonds or straight lines, I don't care... I just want the knob to be easier to turn with 1-2 fingers instead of having to actually grip the knob like i do now...

I'll make one on Monday and post a pic. I'm still working on the Black ones. I am making about 100 so it is taking a little while, then they have to be annodized. I should probably knurl some of those as well.

Diamond knurl would probably look cool but let me try one and see. I wish I could find some kind of flat rubber ring to insert into a groove on the knob kind of like the D3 has. I just haven't found anything.

If you pulled off the cool diamond knurl on black I will be on the buy list for my F90... again like the daughter told me today, the new knob on her F700 is the shiz nit...

Got my Hohlknob today, fits great and looks even better. Thanks! Now I just need to try some software mods....

Cool. Glad you like it! Good luck on those software mods.

Tell her I said "OMG I'm totally sych'ed LOL TTL" Whatever the hell that means. She will understand it.

Will you post a pic of the black, both knurled and regular?

Also, for a gasket, get a piece of tubing and cut it to size. Carve out a channel for the ring. How about shrink wrap tubing? Very thin and you can cut it to size easily. Plus if you get a larger tube you can "shrink it" onto the knob.

received the knob, great piece!

Hey Tom, just an idea, but if you anodize a knob before knurling it, would that make a black and silver effect on the sides, or would the process leave only black on the front? Thanks.

Does anyone have a pict of a knurled knob? Interested in one, I think it would work better when you have gloves on.

I already thought about the 2 tone thing but it might look kindo of weird. I'm gonna play with it (the knob) lol and see what looks right. All Black is probably the way to go though.
