Key Features
-
Striking Samurai Design: Full 26cm katana sword profile with traditional handle wrap texture, tsuba (guard), and blade-inspired shaft — unlike anything else on the road.
-
CNC Metal Construction: Precision-machined from solid metal with a durable electroplated gold and black finish that resists fading, chipping, and wear from daily use.
-
Universal Fitment: Includes three adapter inserts (8mm, 10mm, 12mm thread) to fit most manual and automatic shifters from Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Ford, Nissan, BMW, VW, and more.
-
Ergonomic Grip: Despite its show-car appearance, the handle wrap texture provides a confident, non-slip grip for precise shifting. The 26cm height places the knob at a natural hand position.
-
Easy 5-Minute Install: Unscrew your factory shift knob, select the correct adapter insert, thread the katana knob onto your shifter, tighten the set screws, and you are done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my car shifter?
A: Most likely yes. The kit includes three adapter sizes (M8x1.25, M10x1.25, M12x1.25) which cover the vast majority of vehicles. Check your vehicle shifter thread size — if it matches one of these three, it will fit. Search "[your car model] shift knob thread size" online if unsure.
Q: Will this work with an automatic transmission?
A: Yes, as long as your automatic shifter has a threaded shaft (most modern automatics with a removable knob do). Note that automatic shifters with a side button/trigger release mechanism may not be compatible. This knob works best with gated automatic shifters or manual transmissions.
Q: Is the katana blade section sharp?
A: No. This is a decorative shift knob styled like a katana sword — it is not sharpened and does not have a cutting edge. It is designed for safe daily use as an automotive interior accessory.
Q: Does the extra height affect shifting feel?
A: At 26cm (10.2"), this is a tall shift knob — taller than most factory knobs by 5-10cm. The increased height provides more leverage, making shifts feel lighter and more mechanical. The added weight (~450g) also helps smooth out notchy shift gates.
Q: Is this legal for street use?
A: Yes. An aftermarket shift knob is a cosmetic interior accessory and does not affect vehicle safety or emissions compliance. It is completely legal for street use in all 50 states.
