The blade is tempered for uniform blade hardness. The masonry trowel is then tapered ground blade for flexibility. The forged steel blade and shank offer strength and integrity with no internal voids that could form if it was welded. Forged steel will not weaken or crack. Each blade is polished to keep mortar centered on the blade and to resist sliding. The shank angle is precision balanced to reduce wrist fatigue. The 6" wood handle is designed for a comfortable hold by the bricklayer. The handle is fitted to the blade with a steel ferrule.
