Well I bought a couple of Ox trowels. A one stainless by mistake and then the carbon steel one as I'd meant to buy in the first place.
I spent no more than two minutes with an oilstone on each and then set about using them.
The stainless one was used for a hit from start to finish and it worked really nicely. On the next hit I put on, laid in and first trowelled with the stainless and then gave a further two trowels with the carbon steel. Again the trowel performed just as I'd hoped.
These trowels feel really well made with plenty of rivets and as long as they hold their shape I think they'll last at least as well as the Marshalltown trowels
If you're a through and through Marshalltown user then the handles will feel odd at first but if like me you've used and liked the Ragni trowels then you'll almost certainly like these.
Not that the price is that important but these are well priced, I paid just over £22 for the stainless and £20 for the carbon steel including postage.
