Trowel price

[Gary_B]

How much would you guys & Gals be prepared to pay for a good skimming trowel? I mean of an exceptionally good standard similar to the old tyzack centenary, I know it all depends on preference but lets work on a 13" stainless.

Not a thing mate honest LOL We have a fair bit of contact with S&J reps at work and I'm just wanting to prove to them that us spreads dont just base everything on price. All the lads and lasses get the chance to handle a centenary and they all say how good it feels etc.
Would it be worth pushing S&J to manufacture a trowel of the same quality? It will all come down to money and what we are prepared to pay

walk into b and q and pick up any old marshalltown trowel even the standard carbon ones and they are starting to have a very slight curve in the right direction .............
it does matter how it feels and tyzack walk all over marshalltown but if they cant get the blades right all the hard work goes down the shitter
also i know this is personal preferance but i'd prefer a handle like the marshalltown ones ............and a new ferrari ..............
