Smiths Architectural Shouldered T Knob – 38mm

Product Overview

The Smiths Architectural Shouldered T Knob 38mm represents a seamless fusion of modern industrial design and refined craftsmanship. Engineered for both style and performance, this piece is crafted from precision milled solid steel and features a distinctive shouldered profile coupled with a diamond-cut knurled grip, making it an elegant and functional choice for cabinetry, wardrobes, and furniture drawers. It is suitable for contemporary, industrial, and transitional interiors where visual impact and tactile functionality are equally important.

Available in four premium finishes—Antique Brass, Matt Black, Satin Brass, and Satin Nickel—the Shouldered T Knob offers versatility and sophistication to match a wide variety of color palettes and interior themes.

Design & Material

• Material: Precision Milled Solid Steel
  Each knob is machined from solid steel stock, offering superior durability, a weighty hand feel, and long-term resilience. This material ensures the knob will maintain its structure and form over many years of use, even in high-traffic environments like kitchens and bathrooms.

• Diamond Cut Knurled Grip:
  The grip surface of the T Knob features a finely machined, diamond-pattern knurling. This not only adds a refined visual texture but also enhances grip, making the knob practical for areas where secure handling is important—even with wet or soiled hands.

• Shouldered Profile:
  The central cylindrical grip is mounted on a rounded, slightly stepped shoulder base. This subtle design detail adds depth and dimensionality, giving the knob a sophisticated silhouette that complements both traditional and modern cabinetry.

Finish Options

All finishes are carefully applied and sealed for durability and aesthetic longevity:

• Antique Brass:
  A warm, aged tone that gives a classic and heritage feel. Perfect for vintage or traditional interiors, this finish adds character and depth.

• Matt Black:
  A bold, sleek, and contemporary finish that contrasts beautifully with lighter cabinetry or stone countertops. Offers a matte, non-reflective surface for a minimalist aesthetic.

• Satin Brass:
  A muted, brushed gold tone with a refined sheen. Brings warmth and understated luxury to any room. Often paired with woodgrain or matte painted cabinetry.

• Satin Nickel:
  A cool, softly brushed metallic finish. Highly versatile and adaptable to a range of color schemes. Particularly well-suited to modern and transitional interiors.

Care & Maintenance
