Why? Why not just buy some potassium nitrate? What's the application here?

Perhaps the OP intends to add some sulfur and charcoal...
Buying some compounds on a particular list is monitored, remember.

Just because the fertilizer contains N and K doesn't necessarily mean it contains potassium nitrate.

Technically yes, it is doable. Practically it is much easier to buy the potassium nitrate itself.
