The answer is: Ask 50 knuckle ball pitchers and you'll get 50 answers.
There are three different "effects" that the ball will have while in flight. Float (flutter, dance, dead spin), Sinking(dive, dive in, dive away, has slight spin), Cork Screw(barrel roll in flight).
Find what grip gives you the most consistant effect. Practice it. It takes a long time to perfect. Don't get discouraged. Then expand to get new effects.
Check my sources, they will get you well on your way to throwing the K-Ball.

I like to grip the ball as though I were gripping a two seamed fastball but roll my middle and index fingers under.

the most effective is the 4 fingered knuckle grip

tips of your thumb, index and middle fingers. Grip fairly lightly, and push the ball out of your hand so there is no spin on the ball.
