The K is silent when we see the KN bond at the beginning of a word or a certain syllable, and we just say the N. These examples includes know, knife, knee, knew, kneel, knob, knock, knot, knit, knoll, etc.
Although we see the KN bond, the K is pronounced when that bond has a faint pause in a separate syllable like weakness, darkness, blackness, etc.
