Togashi has confirmed that Knuckle's nen type is CONJURATION
It was believed Knuckle was an emitter and therefore him being equal to Kite in close combat abilities was deemed not that impressive due to having more affinity with enhancement. Since they are now confirmed to be the same nen type we now know for sure that Togashi meant that Knuckle simply on the same general level as Kite in term of combat abilities
Kite was hyped up to be nen master lvl (45 meters en) and an exceptional hunter of incredible skill.
Knuckle being near his lvl pretty much confirms there's no way he's not Feitan/Phinks level as neither of these two should be stronger than Kite
