Langtry personally could see Michael and Amoracchius, was told Michael's name and that he's a Knight and he Still had to ask which sword! If he got a file on the Knights, he didnt read it.

Oh my goodness, Langtry is Nemfected!

Well, you can't read them all.
That Langtry didn't recognize Michael probably says more about his priorities than about Michael's standing in the supernatural world.

When you are talking about a major figure like The Merlin, those two things get pretty close to the same thing, no?

As a supernatural big wig, I would have expected Langtry to know who the current KotC are, but he might not have seen a recent photo of Michael. He could also have been testing Harry, seeing what Harry knew of the situation and if this was some plot on his part. Feigning ignorance to make a person tell more information is a common interrogation tactic. Colombo loved it. If Harry didn't know who this Knight was, Langtry might have played things differently.
As for Harry saving the Sword, I recall the argument against Harry wasn't that he saved the Sword, it was his own stupid actions caused it to be in peril to begin with.

I dont disagree that it might be a reasonable tactic in general, but I dont think that it was at all the case here. Lets look at what he had and what he gained: He knew it was a Knight, Knew the sword shape/type, knew michael wasnt a giant black-skinned Russian or tiny Okinawan man, knew that Harry Knew and his Name and that he was a Knight, knew that the little girl he'd just ordered executed was the daughter of said aforementioned Knight.
What could possibly be gained by feigning ignorance, he got nothing additional other than the word "Amoracchius" from Harry. If that's a move forward, I have no idea what direction he's going
