Emtek Hunter Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

The Hunter knob comes in two sizes, 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch, and both are offered in the same six finishes. The 1-1/4 inch works on standard drawer fronts and smaller doors; step up to the 1-5/8 inch on wide drawer banks or full-height pantry doors where a small knob looks undersized and gives less to grip. Both are single-screw knobs, so switching between them does not change the drilling.

In most cases yes. The Hunter is a single-screw knob, so it mounts through one hole and there is no center-to-center spacing to match. If you are replacing pulls rather than knobs you will have two holes to deal with, and you would either need to plug and redrill or move to a pull with matching centers, like the Schaub 10030 or 10040, which are knobs with a 7/8 inch center-to-center screw pattern.

The Emtek Hunter cabinet knob is a brass knob in a modern rectangular style. If the door fronts call for a round profile instead, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove detail in a 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob is another round option. All three mount as cabinet knobs, so the choice is shape and diameter rather than a different kind of hardware.

The Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, which is a larger grip than either the 1-1/4 inch or 1-5/8 inch Emtek Hunter. The Hunter is a residential brass cabinet knob, so for cabinetry that gets pulled on all day the KRB175 is the sturdier build in the same solid brass material.

Six finishes across both sizes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), and Satin Brass (US4). If you are matching existing hardware in a room, the US number is the thing to match, not the finish name, since that is the standard code stamped on the packaging.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters on a kitchen or bath where hardware gets handled wet, since a brass body will not corrode through the way a plated pot metal knob can, and it is why the finish wears rather than flakes.

The Hunter is a contemporary, modern rectangular knob, so it suits flat-panel and slab door fronts more than raised-panel traditional casework. If you want something rounder or more traditional for the same job, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob or the Schaub 131 1-1/2 inch round Artifex knob are round-profile alternatives in the same class of hardware.

It does. Ordering the 1-1/4 inch for upper doors and the 1-5/8 inch for the drawer bank in the same finish keeps one look through the kitchen, and since both are single-screw knobs your installer drills the same hole either way. All six finishes are available in both sizes, so you are not forced to change finish to change size.

The Emtek Hunter is a contemporary, modern rectangular brass knob. For a similar current look, the Schaub 1200 Modo cabinet knob at 16 mm and the Schaub 10040 1 inch Cafe modern oval cabinet knob are both modern cabinet knobs at a smaller scale. The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob leans traditional by comparison, so it suits a different cabinet program.

The Schaub 10030 is a 1 inch Cafe modern oval slot cabinet knob with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Schaub 10040 is a 1 inch Cafe modern oval cabinet knob with the same 7/8 inch center to center. The slot detail on the 10030 is the distinguishing feature between the two. The Emtek Hunter is a brass knob in a modern rectangular style, so it reads differently on the door front from either Cafe oval.

No. The Schaub 131 is a 1-1/2 inch round Artifex cabinet knob, while the Emtek Hunter is a modern rectangular brass knob offered at 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch. Both are cabinet knobs and both install on a cabinet front, but the Artifex is round and the Hunter is rectangular, so they will not match each other if you are filling in on an existing run of cabinetry.

The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another solid brass cabinet knob and is the closest like-for-like on material to the Emtek Hunter, which is also brass. The Deltana KRB175 is likewise solid brass, in a 1-3/4 inch round profile. If matching the brass substrate is what drives the spec, any of the three carry it.

Emtek catalogues the Hunter under 86702 and 86703, and the ordering numbers carry the finish code on the end, for example 86702 in Flat Black is SPC86702US19 and in Satin Brass is SPC86702US4. Give the model plus the US finish code when you order and there is no ambiguity about which knob you are getting.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 is the Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, and the CK-19032 is the Whistler cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection. They are different design collections within the same brand, so pick by which collection the rest of the cabinetry follows. Both are cabinet knobs, as is the Emtek Hunter.
