If you want actual Gibson packaged knobs try http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/guitar_accessories/guitar_parts/
they should just pull - if stiff either lever gently with a long screw driver - carefully so as not to mark the finish - or two pieces of thin cable, under and either side of the knobs and lift gently
It's a personal aesthetic preference.
The thought of slipping or denting any finish puts me off the screwdriver removal route. I prefer to wrap a cloth around the base of the knob, then you can just pull the cloth upwards taking the knob with it without any chance of damaging the guitar.
This is what I mean: (not me btw)
(Apologies for the innuendo .)
The flat blade of a Swiss Army knife screwdriver is good too. Don't use a thin screwdriver (narrower than about 7 or 8 mm), you'll probably crack the knob.

However if you want WITCH HAT knobs then cheapest is about £9 on Ali but are not the authentic Gibson era Vol. decal
swivelelectronics on ebay has as set for US pots - £4.45 and free shipping - I've bought loads of stuff from this seller, all good stuff, no issues and fast service from Singapore.
or you could grit your teeth and go for these relic ones from Crazy Parts if that's your thing - they come in gold or silver and will definitely fit US pots - the only real problem is they cost £20.
