Hi Folks,
Two points:
1) WW Manufacturing (http://www.wwmfg.com) is an old-fashioned American company making high-quality, American-made tools. Maybe their website is clunky, so just call them at 1-800-452-5547 and ask to talk with Ingrid. They are downhome folks.
2) A very good, all-metal broadfork is made by Meadow Creature in Washington State:

No wooden handles to break.
