Had a martindale 18" for years and years till I reckon the feral neighbours pinched it from mums shed when I was in OZ.
Found them again at farmlands.
Cut the pointy front tip back a little and smoothed the handle a little bit. Had to redress the edge with judicial careful use of a flapper wheel on the grinder and a file to finish as the edge is albut 90 degrees from factory.
online search shows them about for 40-50 bucks but not at farmlands
