The Knight is the perfect sort of medieval man at arms. He has participated in 15 great crusades and is honourable in his endeavors. The narrator really does not say much about him. The Knight favors happy stories and doesn't like conflict. WE know even less about the the Squire, the Knight's son, who is good looking and is defined by sexual references.The squire's physical characteristics strongly hit the reader's mind, yet not much is understood about Squire. Chaucer even portrays him in a morally neutral manner, he leaves the judgement of the squire to the reader. The squire is a victim of Chaucer's prejudice portraits, where some characters get detailed representation while others get brief, basic treatment. So aside from more detail given to the Knight and age there really isn't too much that strongly separates these two.
The description of the knight and his son the squire shows that the narrator has respect and admiration for them. The knight is portrayed as noble and honorable, while the squire is depicted as youthful and eager to follow in his father's footsteps. This suggests a positive opinion of both characters.
