There's a nut underneath holding the assembly on. The knob itself doesn't come off easily. Best to remove the whole knob/lever assembly.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Some are metal, some are bakelite/hard plastic. Some have a set screw and others were molded to the lever when they were made. Much variation exists. The metal ones can generally be pulled off carefully. The plastic/bakelite ones will often break because they can be pretty brittle and I've not had much luck separating those from the lever...good luck! As Kevin says it is best to remove the whole assembly.
