Finally caved and bought a proper fish spatula after years of making do

I dropped about $35 on a thin, flexible one from a kitchen supply place near the market. For the longest time, I just used my regular metal spatula and would get so mad when a nice piece of trout or salmon would fall apart on the flip. This new one slides right under like it's nothing, even with a really delicate skin-on fillet. It's so thin it feels like it shouldn't work, but it gets under there without pushing the fish around. I used it on some flounder last night and it was a total game changer, no more panicked plate flips. Has anyone found a specific brand that holds up better over time, or are they all pretty much the same?

Thirty-five bucks for a spatula is wild.

What brand is it?

My $12 one at Target cracked in a month, so $35 might actually last.
