Knabe is known to be outspoken, being forced to apologize after "accusing Olympic gold medallist Domenico Fioravanti of using drugs and saying he wanted to punch the Italian swimmer in the face".[3][4]

After retiring from competitive swimming, Knabe went into coaching. He is currently based in Brisbane as the head coach of Lawnton Swim Club.
