It depends on the context.

A "knob" in British slang is another word for "penis". There is a similar word to penis beginning with the letter "d" which I cannot repeat on a family-friendly website.

If the word is applied jokily, no, it is not seen as a swear.

If the word is applied as a deliberate insult towards another person, then yes, it could be a swear.

Then again, the slang word "knob" is used very openly in Northern British cities such as Liverpool, Sheffield and Manchester and may not be seen as an insult or swear.

So, in conclusion, it depends on the context (how you use the word) and the local city you are in.

No, "knob-head" is a term that is often used informally to describe someone who is foolish or annoying. It can be seen as rude or impolite, but it is not considered a strong swear word.
