Paul,
 
Find my K2 knob with the finger dimple added works much better as  echoed by 
other contributors to the list.
 
Another route may be done if possible is to add a thin external  "tire' to 
the K2 knob. Seem to remember there was some discussion of  this on the Elecraft 
Reflector earlier in the year and assuming  that the parts needed are still 
available in the market.
 
I did this in the past with my JRC JST-135 transceiver by using a VFO knob  
from the NRD-535 receiver. Like the K2, the original knob on the JST-135 had a  
rough serrated circumference in hard plastic. The knob from the NRD-535 has a 
 rubber tyre on the circumference which transforms the feel of the knob 
totally  to the better.
