meaning that " i know that you know it .."

I hesitate to agree with Google, but this time I must.  I have never come across that phrase, and I would never have been able to understand the meaning that you have explained for it.  It sounds like a direct translation from a language that has a little more formality in everyday speech than English does.

Totally unnatural.  Sounds like it might be from Dickens.

As Philip said, you need "as you are well aware, ..." or "as you already know, ...".


Those other versions don't work in English.
