The purpose of this paper is to extend the class of knot groups whose commutator subgroups are known to be residually a finite pgroup (i.e., residually of order a power of the prime p). Such a knot group is known to be residually finite (see, e.g., [10]), and although this class is quite restricted we will show that it includes all the groups of knots in the classical knot table [15].
