As mentioned a 120Gall tank isnt large enough for 1 adult Clown Knife, let alone 2. If they are juvis then its ok for a grow out although im not sure 2 will even tolerate each other.

Might I recommend you research your fish more thoroughly before posting again. As an example, the smaller growing royal knife will still need something like a 6x2x2 to keep it for most of its life, and the clowns get bigger and nastier.

The fishbase maximum recorded size for a clown knife is 122cm. Your 4 foot tank is 122cm. While this will be a wild size but can you see a problem with keeping such a fish in such a tank

Why ask for advice if you know it all already.

I can't fathom ever joining a forum and acting like this

He did concede in his thread in tropical discussion and say he was getting (Or I guess getting mom and dad to buy) a 300 gallon tank. However, that was before his post down here telling somebody they needed 60 gallons to mix a clown knife and chocolate knife, so I'm guessing he's just a troll at this point.

... so I'm guessing he's just a troll at this point.

Maybe someone offered him a shiny new quarter if he hit 100 posts!
