Default Hand trowel question, could be tricky!!

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and really hope you might be able to help.

Some years ago (about 7ish) I had a catalogue of hand tools, trowels hand forks etc. and they were british made and had beautiful brass or copper ferrules and walnut handles or oak I think, they weren't the cheapest I have seen (about £60-£70ish) but they were lovely, I have spent quite a while searching online to try and find them, but all I can find are dutch or other foreign made nice trowels.

So the question is, does anyone remember the name of that company or know if they are still in existence or can someone recommend another firm that does a similar product, because I do remember that even on Gardeners World and the like they always had trowels with brass ferrules, also if you could point me in the direction of a website that would be great as I live outside of the British Isles.

Please don't send me links to Dutch or other foreign tool manafacturers, because I only want British made, preferably English made!

Many thanks in advance, I am sure you will come up trumps for me !!

Magoo.
