After CNC machining, each knob undergoes meticulous hand polishing to achieve a flawless mirror finish that highlights the quality craftsmanship. The signature Black Smoke Blue Splash finish is applied through an intensive anodizing process, which not only delivers a stunning visual effect but also provides a hard, protective layer that resists scratches and fading.
