In words ending with -mb the last b is silent. When you see kn- you only say the –n.
b
In words ending with -mb, such as plumb, numb, climb, and bomb, the last b is silent.
So, we say plum, num, clim, and bom.

Normally pronounced like the c in cat. However, when followed by an n it is silent, as in knife, knee, and knight.
So, we say nife, nee, and night.
