The village covers roughly 2.5 square kilometers and sits at an elevation of about 180 to 220 meters. The surrounding landscape is a mix of farmland, woodland, and small pastures. The climate is temperate maritime, with cool winters and mild summers.

The local economy historically centered on agriculture and timber but now includes dairy farming, small-scale crafts, and some rural tourism. The village acts as a service center for nearby hamlets, with a weekly market and a primary school.

Knicklast was established in the 14th century by agrarian settlers and developed around a ford on the Knick River. It survived regional conflicts and underwent modernization in the 19th and 20th centuries, retaining a village character. Land trusts and cooperative farms have shaped land use in recent decades.

In cultural terms, Knicklast maintains a distinctive Eldorian dialect feature and hosts an annual Knickfest festival celebrating local crafts, food, and music. Administratively, it forms part of Eldoria's Northcrest District and is governed by a small municipal council. The village contains a chapel, a general store, and a community hall, and it is known locally for its traditional timber-framed architecture.
