We searched the globe for a set of trowels with the right balance of feel and strength to apply our texture products and found them in Japan. Produced in the same region as the famous Samurai swords, these lightweight trowels are made of 3 mm stainless steel, the thinnest in the world, which makes them extremely flexible and yet incredibly strong. Our Modern Masters branded Japanese trowels are professional grade and will outlast and out perform other imported Japanese trowels.
