Try Ebay Peter. I don't know a lot about them, but 2 have recently sold there.

One went as early as yesterday..but as one of our members was bidding
on one of them, I held back on the info. The seller wouldn't sell it outside US,
I assume due to the current state of things, but I think they are available
in US-built jets. Try Lockwell LA45-R-O,900 Canopy Knife
in your search. Also have heard it called Canopy Cracker. You might also
try a US Ebay seller, going by the handle, texaspackrat..he might know
someone who can get you one in Canada.

I have one on hand here but I would like 2 more for a project.
