I thought they were sharp at first too. I tune either with my left thumb
or with my right forefinger. I pitched a baseball so much as a teenager
my forefinger is curved. Helped me throw a wicked slider in my day but
now it is just bent. This has helped my K2's tuning knob gain a patina
and lose its sharp edges. I've thought of the broccoli bands but never
quite gotten around to it. I eat enough of my cruciform veggies but have
grown to like my K2 the way it is ;)

Jerry,
IMHO, the only thing wrong with the stock knob is the sharp edge at the
front perimeter. I tune with my thumb resting on that corner and my
thumb
gets sore after a bit. Those fingerdimples may work for some folks, but
since I don't normally tune with a finger, they just get in the way for
me.
I need something that will soften that edge, and the FT-900 rubber rings
work fine for me.

I must be missing something. Whats wrong with the knob that comes
on the K2?
Why change it? Guess I just don't get it.
