as far as one knows
To one's knowledge
As far as one knows indicates the limits of someone's knowledge or information—what they believe to be true based on available evidence, while acknowledging they might be wrong: As far as I know, the meeting is still on for Tuesday.
The phrase hedges a statement, signaling uncertainty without complete ignorance.
