My Rick's Ti knob has a couple very minor scratches that you have to look for in order to find them. I, too, wear rings on my right hand, so this might be your best bet. Post pics of your rings.

The finish on TWM stainless knobs are very durable but I'm sure any material will show some kind of wear, if that's what you mean by "scratch". Unless you drop it on the ground, most metals will polish up quite nicely though. Forget about refinishing a leather knob, I don't believe it can be done at a reasonable price.

delrin knobs, they're not made of metal, so they wont scratch.

delrin:

pretty much, its a hard, durable plastic. i like the material in other applications, but too light for my tastes as far as shift knobs go
