RYANSTAR RACING Katana Shift Knob Samurai Sword Manual Gear Knob Black/Red — 4 Adapters, Alloy Core Braided Grip

The RYANSTAR Katana Shift Knob is a samurai-sword–inspired manual transmission handle that swaps into most stick-shift cars to deliver a distinctive katana aesthetic and improved tactile grip.

Handcrafted details meet universal practicality in this alloy-and-synthetic-silk shift knob. The design channels a traditional katana hilt with braided patterning and rayskin imitation, giving your cabin a bold, custom look without complex wiring or vehicle-specific parts. It ships with four thread adapters and the hardware you need to replace a standard knob on compatible manual transmissions.

Will this fit my car’s manual shifter?

This shift knob fits many manual transmissions that don’t use integrated locks or push-buttons, provided one of the included adapters matches your shifter diameter. The package contains four adapters so you can test fit the best match, and the knob fastens with six set screws for a secure hold once chosen.

• Included adapters: 8 mm, 9.5 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm
• Works with many models from Acura, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Scion, Nissan
• Requires a manual shifter without factory lock or push-button
• Fastens with six screws and the supplied hex key

How durable and comfortable is the katana-style finish?

The knob pairs a strong alloy core with synthetic silk wrapping and imitation rayskin to resist fading and abrasion while remaining pleasant to hold. The braided pattern gives extra grip and a tactile feel reminiscent of traditional sword handles, built to withstand daily use without losing detail.

• Core material: durable alloy for impact resistance
• Outer wrap: synthetic silk plus faux rayskin for texture and wear resistance
• Colorfast finishes that resist fading from touch and sunlight
• Designed for repeated shifting without degrading grip

How difficult is installation and what’s in the box?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools: remove your factory knob, choose the matching adapter, seat the RYANSTAR knob, then tighten the six set screws with the included hex key. No special cutting, wiring, or professional tools are required.

• Package contents: 1 shift knob (156 mm tall, 14 mm hole)
• Four adapters to cover common shifter sizes and fitments
• Six set screws and one hex key for mounting
• Step-by-step: remove old knob, pick adapter, install, tighten screws

What styling impact will this katana knob have inside my car?

Visually, the katana motif injects a Japanese-inspired accent into the interior, blending sporty and classic cues. Whether your cabin is minimalist or performance-focused, the black-and-red colorway and braided texture become a focal point that signals personalization and attention to detail.

• Distinctive katana hilt silhouette and braided wrap
• Black and red color contrast for a bold accent
• Coordinates with sporty interiors and aftermarket trims
