Salix Knife Marque Cricket bat 2026

The Salix Knife, named after the very tool we use to make it, ‘the draw knife’. An exquisite tool, and the true partner to the cricket bat maker.

Each one of these top-grade bats has been shaped by hand, in humble surroundings, without fuss or bravado.

The trees are cultivated and grown in England, the clefts are cleaved and dried in England, and these handmade ‘Knives’ are made England.

Features:

• Hand crafted in England from premium English willow, individually selected for performance and quality.
• Mid-to-low sweet spot ideal for aggressive front-foot play and precise stroke-making.
• Sleek, slim profile with contoured edges and a modern, balanced spine design.
• Light pick-up and exceptional control achieved through expert shaping and pressing.
