Been a hot minute since I last did a samurai sudoku. I think anti-knight is a bad rule to use with 4x4s, since filling out any single box means that finishing the rest of the puzzle is just busywork.
Still, I wouldn't have realized that if not for this puzzle, so that's neat.

Awesome, so clever!

This doesn't have a solution with just the rules specified.
I think you need the anti-knight rule to extend between different grids, except not the central one because that obviously beaks everything.

The rules don't restrict the reach of the anti-knight rule. It applies to the entire puzzle, and definitely has a unique solution with the rules as described. I hope you enjoy it!

Nice puzzle, a little confusing at the end with Knight restraint affecting between boxes though. Personally I would specify that in the ruleset to avoid confusion. Very nice otherwise, quick and easy :)
