Does "knurled" mean a pot shaft that, instead of being smooth, has a bunch of ridges going around?

Therefore, would it follow that a knob that is labelled as being "knurled" would have the corresponding grooves within the knob, as opposed to a set screw?

That's the assumption I made when I included such knobs in recent parts orders, one from Small Bear;

and one from Mammoth Electronics;

...and in both cases I find myself having been shipped knobs with set screws, to accompany a build of mine with knurled pots.
Now I have 6 set screw knobs, and a Big Muff with no knobs!

What gives?

Hey all,

I have this Egghead build that turned pretty sweet (except for my sub-par etch job). I fit the thing into a 1590A using 9mm pots that I managed to fit beside eachother mounted on the PCB. The question is, are there knobs small enough to fit gracefully on this little dude?
