screwfix do a set, I think they call them pipe trowels. Own branded with chunky rubber grips.
Quality ones...try toolbank.co.uk as they do marshalltown ones, be warned they aint cheap.
They also do a small Mtown arris trowel, 3 inches wide as opposed to the normal 4, which I have used quite a few times when arrissing in front of columns or other places where 4" trowel is too wide.
IME skinny trowels are a bit of an "as and when" tool. If you use them every day buy good ones. If you only need them occasionally...save a bit of dollar and go screwfix.

marshalltown do the best gear,if you know anyone in america willing to post it its less than half what we pay over there
I think my 19-11 brick trowel was about $20 there as opposed to £30 here

There used to be someone on EBay selling Marshalltown, and the genuine Marshalltown, not the crappy Chinese copies.

I use an old silicone gun bar. The one that runs top and bottom of the tube is perfect for ironing brick joints.

Refina.
I bought myself a set of 5 stainless steel finger trowels much better than the steel ones that just rust away. They are however a bit thicker than the steel type and you need to put an edge on them but they'll last longer.
