"By gracefully weaving your body through subtle forms and postures you can convince others of your breeding, eloquence, and refinement. For the duration of the effect, you gain a +4 circumstance bonus on Bluff checks, and may attempt a Bluff check in place of an Intelligence check or Intelligence-based skill check."

I wouldn't think it would. It specifies a specific purpose rather than being general. So unless your knowledge checks are all lies, it wouldn't be applicable. Mind you a knowledge check that is a lie is a bluff... also not a knowledge check I wouldn't think. Similarly, neither would glibness or the +4 bluff racial trait for halflings.
You're using Bluff to do something other than lie, feint, or pass a hidden message. The mask does not apply.
