I  received my machined concentric knobs today from Mouser, and as promised,
I  would write back to the group with my findings.  First of all, the  knobs
are incredibly well made and appear to be anodized black. There is a  fat,
white, indicator stripe on the barrel. There are also two set  screws.  The
knobs fit PERFECTLY on the K3 with absolutely no shimming  or modification
required.  Just take off the old plastic knobs and  replace with these.

The knobs themselves are expensive - somewhere in  the neighborhood of 13 or
14 dollars per pair, but in my opinion well worth  the investment.  The 
outer
diameter and length of the knobs themselves  are also a tad larger than the
OEM plastic pieces, making adjustments  easier for fat-fingered types.

Anyway, this is the part number again  for anyone interested: 506-KN5700B1/4

The only downside to this is now  none of the other knobs match, and all 
feel
"cheap" compared to these  Mouser units.
