I bought a $90 'professional' dough scraper that bent on the first batch of stiff rye.

Has anyone found a brand that actually holds up to heavy use?

Skip the fancy "pro" stuff and get a basic stainless steel bench scraper. That thin stamped metal on expensive ones is a total scam for stiff dough. My old one from a restaurant supply store is still perfectly straight after years of abuse.

Actually, a lot of the pro scrapers are forged, not stamped. They're super thick and heavy. The cheap stamped ones are the ones that bend.

My grandma's old stamped scraper from the 70s still works fine. People just like buying heavy tools.
