Torque= length x force. Lenght is the distance to an object. Force must be perpendicularly acting on the object. In your question, you did not specify neither force and length of the knob. So I cannot give you a torque value. I believe the SI unit for torque is "Nm", assuming that you calculated your torque using all SI units. Then you have to convert Nm to pounds.
