Does ya use different trowels?, Ive found sticking with same type trowel (and handle) has helped, never had it that far down mi hand though, generally middle finger that takes a beating.

would you lads with the problems say you have big hands, small hands or medium?
reason i ask is ive never seen a 'size' on a handle/trowel...
gotta make some sense somewhere...

Once you get used to the wooden handles theres no turning back. I have a few durasoft trowels but prefer my old marshaltown wooden handle any day 
I have never had the claw hand as scott puts it, but it does sound unpleasant. I used to work with this guy who used a durasoft handle and it was worn right back to the black he must of had some grip on his handle ;D

good sharp penkife on a wooden handle should do the trick...
