Even in the photo you can see the pitted condition of the knob so I thought the reason would be self-explanitory. I have a beautiful one but it is without the clip. As for digging in, it moves freely and I see no sign of tangs or tabs digging in anywhere and no markings where that had happened on the one without the clip. Of course, it’s difficult to see down inside so hence the question.

If the clip could be removed easily, then the knob could be pulled straight off.
As I’ve seen on other similar pieces, the pressure of the shaft against the clip inside the knob causes it to grab and I expected that to be the case here. In any event, it is simple friction that holds the knob onto the shaft.
