Anyone know anything about https://www.blackknightbats.com/ .

Seem well established but I'm only just finding them now.

Anyone tried one?

Loads of Sanderstead Cricket Club use them. They are run by some club members there.

The ones you see on their YouTube seem to go well.

yeah one of the ex 1st teamers i think, seen a few up close and they are nice. looks like they only supply a bespoke bat service now so i wonder if they are using a 3rd party to help?

Father and son owned but not made by them. Jonny Longcock I believe is his name, he is something todo with Villa football club so certainly has a connection with a bat maker, I assume UK based but don’t know for sure.

Never seen one bat as has been said used by the lads at Sanderstead but that’s all I know about them

Actual name is Lock, I believe the 'extended' name is an injoke at their club 😅

Johnny Lock is definitely involved, he now plays for Fillongley in the Warwickshire league. The bats are very good from what I’ve seen.
