I have a Zyliss spatula. I'm surprised at how durable the edge has proven to be, so far.
I wouldn't have thought as much of choosing a spatula, until I happened by chance into the Zyliss.
Just recently, I happened upon a sub-Reddit named BIFL (Buy It For Life). I don't know yet whether it's a good sub-Reddit, but I like the idea.
I inherited some old cookware (including a couple of ladles) from the wrapping up of a few family estates (in the small sense, not the Vanderbilt sense). The quality of the "everyday" items is unmatched by much of U.S. contemporary "everyday" kitchenware. I could go to Williams Sonoma and spend $40, $80, or whatever, to get something comparable. But for a reasonable amount of money, one is kind of SOoL with respect to the contemporary marketplace. There are some good items out there, but often they are obscured, drowning in a sea of crap. Corresponding to this, the crap outweighs and often displaces them on the store shelves, so that you can't even find them in a bricks and mortar environment.
Reviews are one way of getting past the crap. And, to some extent, I'm not spending copious amounts of time for a $4 ladle. I'm spending it on the $4 ladle that performs like the $40 ladle at Williams Sonoma.
