I feel like they took a fancy cake slicer and changed the handle a bit.

"The prince was passionate about both baking and gardening. When the afternoon's cake-party was done, he'd grab his trowel, wipe off the frosting, and head over to the greenhouse..."

One trowel to rule them all...

Silver presentation trowels – sometimes called ceremonial trowels – are tools that are used to commemorate the construction of a building. These presentation pieces are recorded to have emerged in Europe in the 18th century, with widespread use occurring by the later 19th and early 20th centuries.

Fascinating. I've never heard of this tradition.
