Answer 2

hii friend, here is ur answer
back in the days when old English was spoken,the"k" in these sorts of words was not silent , so they would be pronounced as k'nife , k'night ,and so on .this pronunciation was even common in the time of William Shakespeare ! at some points people decide that this sort of articulation was too cumbersome so, they stopped voicing the beginning consonant! the same thing happened with "gn" words such as gnome, gnarled. however, other Germanic languages such as german, swedish and dutch kept the "k" and still pronounce it to this day..
hope it helps u ..
