steel, this trowel delivers exceptional strength, balance, and reliability—making it a trusted tool for professional bricklayers around the world.

The Philadelphia pattern is renowned for its broad heel design, which holds more mortar and allows for efficient spreading and shaping during bricklaying. This feature makes it particularly suitable for general masonry work, block laying, and finishing applications that demand consistency and precision.

Its BiKoGrip® Cork handle ensures maximum comfort during extended use. The natural cork provides a superior grip, absorbing vibration while preventing hand fatigue and slippage—even in wet conditions. Combined with the perfectly balanced forged neck and blade, the trowel feels light, responsive, and perfectly aligned for precision work.
