Here is a link Ian, knock yourself out searching through the thousands of listings.
https://m.indiamart.com/proddetail/a...615217633.html
Just click the search function and you should get about 15 different edge weapons types, work them them all at your leisure...
If you are lucky, you might even see this Bhutan beauty I sold some years ago, that currently resides in a US private collection...
