Those actually look like they're designed to function, with a 'neck' that is resistant to bending and attached to the blade with a large welded area. Will buy if mine break in the next 15 years, by which time I'll probably be compost. The Kent and whatsit have a tiny welded area, limited leverage before a bout of invective.

I have broken several of the type with a pronounced S bend in the neck, including the Kent and Stowe one linked above
Undoubtedly user error (and awful stony clay), but I now steer clear of that type
This DeWit one is not as expensive as the badass one and hasn't broken on me yet
