Don't we all?
A guy off nasioc (WRXDriftR) is handmaking these on an old hand lathe. He does barrel/piston styles and spheres to customer specs. He's totally into building whatever size, shape, finish, accents, etc, that you might want. He's selling them through TIC, which is an indication of their qulaity as well, but is also willing to do one-offs for around the same price.

Here's mine...

And some others he's done as one-offs.

Dave asked me forever ago to pick up a Prodrive 6MT knob, and I couldn't find one in Japan, so I figured, why not get something even more individual? The fact that I'll get it back at some point didn't factor into the equasion at all

I normally don't whore parts, but this was too cool not to share. He does 5MT (with a boot retainer) and 6MT stuff.
