Neither of both?
I know A and I know B but I'm neither of both? Is this correct? What's the proper way to say it? Thanks!

Hi. As Cool Breeze explained, neither of both makes no sense.
Neither and both convey exactly opposite meanings. The combination of them is a statement of contradiction.
For an instance, when two people are over there, you might either know both of them or you might know neither of them. So as you see , the meaning is completely reversed.
As for your context, you

My naive thought was that if we understood your intended meaning, we could help you write it more clearly. If you don't care, then it's okay. We'll let it drop.

It's fine, thank you. If I can't use both I'll just use them instead. Although my inicial thought was that "both" had several meanings, it seems "neither of them" can be used in such a context.
