Painting knife




I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good painting knife. I was painting on Saturday and my knife broke on me right where the stem met the blade. It was a Utrecht brand and the stem was welded to the blade.
I am looking for a painting knife where the stem and blade are made out of the same piece of metal also I would like the knife to be very flexible and strong. I have checked Daniel Smith, jerrysartarama.com, aswexpress.com and Dick Blick. There seemed to be very little variety although Dick Blick offers there brand which are about $5 plus Holbein which are about $35. I am not against spending $35 or more on a painting knife but I want to know that offers the qualities I am looking for.

Thanks

Aaron
