Control knob for shaft with crosswise pin

I have a broken knob from a LIDL mini oven (usually this sort of damage
is caused by a tenant, but in this case it was all my own work. Brute
force and ignorance).
Instead of attaching to a simple flatted shaft, the knob pushes onto a
split shaft, and there's a metal pin which runs crosswise through the
shaft, mating with a recess/slot in the control knob.
Neither Maplin nor a local appliance shop know where such knobs can be
bought.
AIR the oven was only 15.00 or 20.00 so the replacement should ideally
be cheaper than another oven, which I already bought.
Can anyone suggest a source for a replacement, so that I have a working
spare oven in case of future need?
Can't you make one, by finding a knob of the right size and drilling a
cross-hole in it? They're not usually made of titanium!
