Andy has chosen the FT-100 knob (with dimple). I have one part number
RA0068200 for the knob itself but you need two (one for the knob and one for
the rubber ring). Just ask the Yeasu parts guy. I suspect they're very
familiar with people ordering these knobs ;)

phone number is 714-827-7600  (google is your friend ;)

The FT-900 is another knob that works well on the K2. See W3FPR website for
pics & part numbers:

I have both and either is a fine choice for a replacement. I currently have
the FT-100 knob on my K2 but I think I prefer the tad larger size of the
FT-900 knob myself. I just find the (shallow) finger dimple isn't quite as
useful as you might think due to the rather diminuitive size of the FT-100
knob.  YMMV
