The knob came well packaged, and felt quite a bit more susbtantial compared to the one sold by Glorious. The knob itself slipped on without too much hassle, and does not come off without deliberately attempting to remove it. I purchased the black version, and the anodization is incredibly good, with no inconsistent areas or marks. If you have the cash and aren't a fan of the texture of the glorious knob, pick it up.
