MARSHALLTOWN Margin Trowels are forged from a single piece of high carbon steel for added durability when cutting into compacted sediment or compressed soils. Our 5” x 1 ½” Archaeological Margin Trowels come in your choice of either standard or heavy-duty blade styles. The heavy-duty trowels have a thicker blade compared to the standard trowel, which means the can withstand more the intense pressures of scrapping and cutting. Both options come with your choice of handle. Choose between a traditional hardwood or a resilient soft grip DuraSoft®. This product is also available with or without a leather holster. Our Archaeological Margin Trowels are Made in the USA with Global Materials.
