A Shifter That Becomes the Centerpiece

Most shift knobs are designed to blend in. The RoninShift Katana Gear Shift Knob is designed to do exactly the opposite.

Its elongated katana-inspired handle, wrapped grip appearance, decorative guard, and ornamental detailing create a dramatic centerpiece in the center console. It works particularly well in JDM-inspired builds and customized interiors where small details make the entire cabin feel more personal.

Solid Feel Without Sacrificing the Shift

Despite its distinctive appearance, the katana design is intended to function as an everyday gear shifter rather than simply being decorative.

The weighted alloy construction gives the knob a substantial feel while remaining balanced for normal shifting. Once installed correctly with the appropriate adapter and hardware, the assembly is designed to remain secure during regular operation.

Designed for a Clean Custom Installation

A dramatic shift knob shouldn't leave the mounting area looking unfinished.

The included soft dust boot helps cover the lower shifter area while allowing normal movement. Combined with the katana-inspired handle and decorative guard, it helps create a more complete custom appearance around the center console.
