Great Question. I actually wondered the same... lol
Since the knights were advanced warriors during the middle ages, I think the Army Rangers and High Class Marines who specialize in combat are the knights of today.
Hope that helped.

Knights are poeple who are dubbed so, most likely by the queen of england. They include singers such as paul mccartney and elton john, and actors like sean connery. When you become a knight, you get the Sir in front of your name.

You could do it by analogy. Knights were people loyal to the king who fought battles on his behalf.
The military and police are examples of present day knights.
